STANDARD TUNING; CAPO 1.
Capo 1 matches song, I personally like Capo on 2 though.
Also, at the bottom, I'll put an easier version built off this one for any beginners.
You should also check out some fingerstyle versions of this song, which are pretty sweet.

D|-----1-3---------2-|
A|-3-5-------------3-|
E|-----------------3-|
C/G
Hu---m. Fly-y--------y.
**above (instrumental) is actually a nine note scale, but I couldn't
really figure out how to play it. I think it might be a dorian scale.
I play a D dorian scale cus it goes nicely with capo on 2, and play a
C/G chord as the 9th note, which is the same C/G chord above "Hu--m."
