Now it sounds to me that the guitar(s) on the album play with a capo
on the 5th fret and that the chords are played as follows;

     C      G       F       D    
]--5-8-|--5-7--|--5----|--5------
]--C---|--C-8--|--C-6--|--C-7----
]--A---|--A-7--|--A----|--A-7----
]--P---|--P----|--P-7--|--P-7----
]--O-7-|--O----|--O-8--|--O------
]--5-8-|--5----|--5----|--5------
    (G)    (D)     (C)     (A)    Hand positions

Intro. (as close as I can figure)

5]-----------------------7s 8- 8-8------------------------------
C]-----------------------9s10-10-8_8--86------------------------
A]----------0-7-7s9------------------7--------------------------
P]--0-0h7-0---------07-9------------0---------------------------

    0=Open(actually 5th fret because of capo)
