CAPO: 2nd fret (Sounds in the key of BB)

Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
Amaj7Amaj7 = x02120  A augmentedA = x02220
G+G   = 320022  E MajorE = 022100
D MajorD   = xx0232  B minorBm = x24432

N.B. The Amaj7Amaj7 chords are suggested by the pedal steel guitar
accompaniment and vocals, but I think Caroline just plays
straight A augmentedA major chords, she certainly does when performing solo.
Looks like she plays the A augmentedA as a barre, and not hitting the top string,
she adds lift by hammering-on chords.

In the bridge there's a couple of chords played,
but mostly just mute the strings and keep the rhythm going.
