This is capo 1, and is in the key of Bb, and is in 3/4. Other chord charts didn't make the walk down in the bass clear enough, but I've tried to make it clear with the inversions written as part of the chart.Was this info helpful?

Hope that this version is helpful! When in doubt, listen to the track and try to feel it out,
but I've tried my best to match the recording.
 
The song is in 3/4
In the verses, pick E string on beat 1, and the D and G strings on beats 2 and 3,
like a waltz, for each chord except for D
 
In the chord progression, when going from E to Esus, hammer onto fret 2 of the G string on beat 3
