Red Rabbits by The Shins
Red Rabbits
I did it with a on the first fret to play the whole thing using simpler open chords. For beginners, this the chord name used ONLY represents the chord shape. So when you play a G with capo, actually playing Ab/G#, C=C#, etc.
The open chords I used:
G = 320001
C = x32010
F = 113211 (or xx3211 if you don't want to barre it)
Em= 022000
Am= x02210
D = x00232
Bb= x13331

With the wan and drilling eyes of an orphan
