In concert, she plays it with a capo on the 7th fret. Since the song is in B, that would mean she's playing in E, and the verse chords are B E A A. She's clearly using a very strange tuning, because I can't for the life of me figure out how she's getting those chords out of the positions she uses. Any ideas?] [I'm going to write these chords down in the key of G, since I know that's where John Jennings plays them, with a capo on the 4th fret.] n.c.
