Originally in A, I play in A capo 3, or if I’m feeling like
a vocal reach, in D (D is better for the guitar). Highest
note is the 4, but it’s a long 4 (“caaaaallling”), and there’s
an awful lot of 3.
In A, play the intro A/E as:
-x- -2- -2- -2- -4- -0-
| A/E | E | A/E | E | A/E | E | A/E | E |
| D/A | A | D/A | A | D/A | A | D/A | A |
