Why not play it with no capo?It's open Dm and G. All the other chords are easy too. Capo on III just makes things harder. Just noticed that you did put the alternative chords at the end. Still can't understand the capo chords though. However this is an amazing tab so thanks for putting in such a stella effort. Cheers :-)
