You need to cappo the second fret for this to be played in the right key. Nice job, tho. more accurate than others.

By the way, this is probably played in A without a capo but playing with capo on 2nd fret with the chords from OP sound identical. 6 one half dozen the other. I honestly like the chord transition better using the capo but to each their own. I appreciate the posters efforts and hope others can encourage instead of discourage when putting forth such effort to help others.
