this is 100% correct , transcribed from a video of shane bernard playing it .
note that in the album version , pages , he plays it at capo 3 .
but in most live versions , he’ll play it capo 5 .
that said , most guys can’t hit an a above middle C ( i . E . halle – lu – ujah ) .
also , he plays the short – cut F , not the barre chord .
