the opening sequence is just a picked version of the chords Bm
(224412)
and Em (022000).  if you can contort you hand into a good Bm (which 
i can't) then it shouldn't be a problem...

capo second fret

I debate that... My opinion is no capo, and the chords are.... C#m   A

The opening sequence is C#minor (X46654) and A (577655) bar chords 

Here I also have an alteration. I have noticed that the high notes
of the bar chords are left open.... I.e.  an A bar (577655) is played
(577600). Therefore chords throughout are....

C#m     (X46650)
A       (577600)
F#      (255400)
E       (022100)
Bm      (799800) so the open 1st and 2nd strings (B&E) can be played
*G#     (466544) dont play open 1st and 2nd.. sounds terrible!
*F#     (255422)
B       (X24440)
*A      (X02220)

The chords that are not played with the open 1st and 2nd are marked 
with an asterisk (*) below.
