Song is played with capo on 1st fret,
but the chords of the verses are all played in the 9th, 10th and 11th fret.
 
So that means that relatively to capo the chords are:
 
C*: 0-10-9-0-8-0 
Em+*: 0-9-9-0-8-0  (i'll jut call it Em*)
F*: 0-10-10-9-8-0
G*: 10-9-0-0-8-10
 
The chorus is played with normal chords.
Only one strange chordname:
CtoD: 0-5-4-0-3-0 (it's a C, but slided to 3rd fret, so it becomes a D)

First of all, this is great and thank you for the upload! However, the correct lyric is "Where's Sophie" instead of "where so be it" - this song is about one of his friends, called Sophie, that committed suicide. But again, thanks for this :)

Lack of accuracy. They keep changing key throughout. Each verse should start on the C instead of the verses which randomly start in G.

so which strings need to be plucked. im now to plucking so yeah.
