Ron Pope - Whatever It Takes

i play this song in a different key , solely because of my vocal range being
higher than ron pope’s . these chords work for playing the song in the keys
of G – C ( placing a capo on frets 1 through 5 will give the song in keys G#
through C – a capo much higher than that will make it difficult to play ) .
the song is originally in F , so if you wanted to , you could tune the strings
down two semitones and play these chords so it will be in the original key .
