Tabbed by Del Bradley          Ideally NO CAPO or on Fret 2 sounds ok
For beginners you can play open chord Bm7 instead of Bsus4.

Ah, what a fine song ... and a good tab, too! Some minor suggestions: - The G chords in the verses sound like G6 to me (3-x-0-0-0-0) - I think the Am should rather be A or A5 (if one didn't want to highlight the major 3rd) - Could the Bm7 in the intro and the "Completely in command-aaaaaaa-aaaaand" part actually be a Bsus4?

The Fmaj7 and G6 are played like (×-×-3-2-1-0) and (×-×-5-4-3-0)
