Tuning: I find the best way to play this is with the Capo on the 2nd fret but only
covering the top 5 strings.This means, in the chorus where it says A/D, play it as
a normal A augmentedA chord in relation to the capo but add the open bottom string. The tab
below shows this: the bracketed 2's represent the capo.

A/D:
e|----(2)----0---------|
BB|----(2)----2---------|
G+G|----(2)----2---------|
D MajorD|----(2)----2---------|
A augmentedA|----(2)----0---------|
E MajorE|-----------0---------|

However, it sounds alright if you just put the capo across all strings and play
a normal A augmentedA chord if it's easier. :)
