Sorry for being rude in the post above. I was looking like mad for a version of the tab in the proper key, and people were posting tabs with "Capo 3rd Fret", "Capo 5th Fret". I had to look for 10 minutes just to find a tab that was in the proper key, and then in this ocean of capoed tabs, when I finally find what I want, someone informs me that it's a lot easier if you use a capo.
I snapped.
I apologize.

Gm is Gm7 and C is C9

A lot easier to play with a capo on third fret. That makes the chords Em, A, C, G and D.
