INSTRUCTIONS regarding chord shapes and tuning.
The original key is G. However, to get the "drony" type of sound in the original recording, you need to either tune DADGAD, and capo 5, or keep standard tuning and use a full capo on fret 3 and a cut capo on the ADG (#,3, #4 and #5) strings on fret 5. Kyser is the only brand of cut capo I've found although there are other capos made that can be set to capo only part of the strings, the kyser cut capo (called a "shortcut") is less expensive than the ones that will capo only part of the strings.
Ignore the chord images below from the Worship Chords system -- don't use them and don't pay attention to the red lettering indicating other chords.
I will describe the fretting and string numbers to get a sound similar to the recording. Remember - do NOT use standard chord shapes for standard EADGBE tuning that have images below!
To remind you -- if you do not have a cut capo turn to DADGAD tuning, and put full capo on fret 5. If you have a cut capo, do NOT re-tune, use a full capo on fret 3 and a cut capo on fret 5.
Fret and string numbers are below. (Unfortunately the system will not let a contributor paste in images of the chord shapes.)
String numbers: The #1 string is the highest sounding string (normally high E in standard tuning) and the #6 is the lowest sounding string (in standard tuning the low E string).
G Fret 2, #3 string (For some of the song you will "hammer on" this string.)
(Listen to the song to hear when they're doing the "hammer on.")
G/E: Fret 2: #3 and #5 strings.
C/E: Fret 2: #4 and #5 strings.
C/F: Fret 2: #4 string, fret 3, #5 string.
Additional variant chords used in the Chorus:
G5+hi B: Fret 2: #3 and #1 strings.
C//F+hi C: Fret 2: #4 string, Fret 3: #5, #2 and #1 strings.
It might help you to draw out the images for the chord shapes to get the chord shapes memorized. There are many online resources to print, search for "fretboards blank".
