There are plenty of acoustic guitars
 on the recording. If you have a
partner to play along, the second 
guitar can use a capo and play 
different
chords but still has the same key as
 the first one - sounds really nice.
So here's a chord sheet for the 
second guitar:

Capo: 7th fret
Play:[D/G
Key: [A/D
