there are two different versions, the one with a capo (the on chris is talking about) and without (bdsunny's version). they both sound great. i love this song
The chords are D-G-Bm-A-G etc. But he plays it barred on the 2nd fret so barre up and use these basic chord formations. Verse C-C-F-Am-G-F-F-G-G(drop 1st finger) C-C-F-Am-G-F-F-G-Em Pre-chorus (Just say how to make it right...) C-F-G-Em Am-F-G-Em Chorus (chords written double time.) Am-F-G-G-C-C-Am-Am Am-F-G-G-Em-Em-Am-Am Outro(I know I have made mistakes..) C-F-Am-Am (and)G-(I swear I'll never wrong you again.) F-F-G-Em (repeat and end on C) Hope that helps:>
No, the Chick isnt part of Postal Service. But, she does collaborate a lot with them. Also, they are around, but Ben does a lot with his main band, Death Cab for Cutie, that he said the second album won't be around most likely until the end of the decade.
@MrJohnyGoatzyn: I BELIEVE Jenny Lewis does backup vocals on every other part of the album when you hear a woman's voice. I *think* Wood might do backups throughout the album as well...but a bigger Postal Service fan should know the answer to that. I do know that it's Jen Wood singing the lead on "Nothing Better" though.

You have to give it up for the man: John Denver still draws a following wherever he plays.

that's cos he's using a capo on the 2nd fret. if you don't have one, play it in D.

@chris7sutton19 we appear to have the same chord progression, just in different keys. Maybe he's playing in a different key in this video.
