CAPO at 1st fret (Will then sound in the key of Eb)
 
Please IGNORE ANY CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS the website
automatically imposes,they often do not display the
best option for a particular chord sequence.
Just follow the voicings as the numbered columns below:
 
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
D      = xx0232    A7     = x02020
D/A    = x00232    A7/E   = xx2020
F#m/C# = x44222    Em7    = 022030
F#m    = 244222    Em7/B  = x22030
C#7    = x46464    A7sus4 = x02030
C#7/G# = 446464    F/C    = x33211
D7     = xx0212    F      = 133211
D7/A   = x00212    A7sus2 = x02000
G      = 320003    D*    = xx0775
G/B    = x20003    D**   = xx-0-11-10-10
 
Emphasise the alternating bass notes
 
Another option to achieve John Lennon's key is to use
the transpose function set to -2 to display in the key
of C, then add a capo at the 2nd fret to sound in D.
To simplify futher, in whatever key you decide, you
could ignore the alternating bass note for each chord.
