And if so is it played with a kyapo? Thought someone on here would know.

I ain't stupid, I'm just guitarded.

Don't know for sure, but from the sound of it, the studio recording, I would say Open G, Capo at the 5th.
When you play it in standard tuning it does not sound as full.

Milo, NYC
Just my imagination

The studio recording is open-E with a capo at the 7th fret.
Live versions are open-G at with a capo at the 5th fret.

It feels really good to play it with open tuning. COuldnt figure it out for years but now I know.

Thanks to all. Where the hell did I get that spelling for Capo? lol

I have a Gibson J-200....when I tune it to open E and put the capo on the 7th fret.......wow!!!!!!!! It truly has the feel of the original recording. I'm not much of a player.....it still sounds great.

Man, what a beautiful piece of work,and, soooooooo simple. It has such a 'choral' quality to it. No wonder they put a choir at the beginning.

Well, when we play it live its' open 'E' with the capo on eighth fret - so the chords are C and F. Surely that's right?

It sounds right on our (nearly world famous) CD!!!!!!

You are correct, Stickyfinger.
What was I smoking when I posted that?
Actually, my open-E tuned guitar that I use
has a capo at 7 'cause I'm working on tune that needs it...
and it is in the key of B. I think that's where it came from.
Shame on me.

Shame indeed Tom, but you are forgiven!

Open-E on the record, but live it's played in open-G with the capo at the 5th. That will still give the C and F chords.
