You nailed this to the wall!! Great job !!!

If you want to avoid any bar chords, but play it in the same key then go capo 2 and transpose -2 steps and play it starting with the Am chord shape (I'd tell everyone the Nashville numbering system...but I still don't have a clue on how it works, must be a mental block).
