Based on their performance on Letterman, it looks like Ben's playing this with a capo on the 7th fret, like so; e|------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-2---2---2---2---0---0---0---0-------------------7---7---7---7----| A|---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-0---0---0---0--------------------| E|-----------------------------------3---3---3---3---5---5---5---5--| I know that's not completely accurate, so here's the link to the vid in case anyone wants to work it out; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zlHvrKQoJw

can anyone tab the keys that get played in this?

Also, this can be played just as easily with a capo on 2, adjusting accordingly. I just didn't have a capo on hand and it works just as well like this.
