Guitar Playing Help!

[BlueGrass]

Hi, I have been attempting to play the acoustic version of Big Love and it isn't coming out right. I just tried to get the main melody down but to me it doesn't sound right - sounds much to low.

I use a capo and I think my guitar is in good tune. Also, since the main chords use the D A E strings I get the annoying sound of my finger scratching the brass coating on the strings. How does Lindsey manage never to have that problem?

These are the tabs I used
