Key of Bb --> Capo 3: G
It's a bit confusing to notate a song relative to a capo and then have parts, like the
intro here, played with bar chords. The first bar chord is a Cm, but since we need to
keep the notation of the capo it's Am (and the numbers are relative to the capo). The
capo is used to make the quick pulls used throughout the song possible.

G(C/G) combo:
G played with pinky and 3rd finger slightly muting 5th string so that hammering 5th
lowers string and sounds. Then first two fingers make the C/G (C with G in the base) pulling
off on each strum.
