TAB:

The electric guitar actually plays this in C with no capo.  These are the
right notes; I'm not sure about the exact fingerings.

  C       G        F                C       G        F
E ----0-----------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
B --1-----3-----1-|------1---------|----1---0-------|----------------|

D ------------5---|----3-------3---|2-----------0---|--3-------3---3-|

E ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|

Here it is in G, if you want to play it with the capo on the 5th fret:

  G       D        C                G       D        C
