itz this 4 the little lick h |-----------| |--8-9/13-9-| |-----------| |-----------| |-----------| |-----------|

hmm wow gotta be the worst tab ive ever seen for this song...nub

Sorry, I'm just the voice of reason here, I don't know if you're being sarcastic or whatever. But, the chords are relative to the capo. The open chords with capo on 1st fret change E -> F, G - > G#, D -> D# and A to A#. And it's actually a pretty accurate tab.
