I think she moved it from D to E because it's easier to sing those verses up a whole step. Try it yourself!
Uhhhh, Professor, I don't recall them SHOWING her hands on the keyboards.

I loathe capos! It seems like I can always hear one string that's slightly out of tune when a capos on.

Too picky! It's usually close enough for Rock & Roll.

Well, I have patience issues. And we're a real Wham, Bam, Wham, Bam, band. There's rarely more than 1-2 seconds between songs, so I don't have time to fiddle around with that string that's slightly out. I'll learn the song without a capo. I've not used one for about 5 years now.
I still carry one though. My "other" guitar player's kind of a stoner, and forgets his frequently, so I'm always there with the extra cords, picks, etc....Somebody has to be anal retentive, right?

Well, I don't think I can comfortably sing it lower than Christine does in the live recording I have (Wallingford), so I guess I should transpose? I am not a keyboard player or even a decent guitarist - I was just going to play the chords to cue myself, while working on the song, until I can have my guitarist play it.

It has been fun watching you guys hash this out!
