You need to capo the third fret, then play the chords as if this were
the original fret (ie so where I write Em you get Gm)
This is the intro:

You’re too tall, much too tall for a boyfriend

Don’t be scared of the books you’ve read

Bestowing the memory of good and evil

The heartless swine

How you love, and a halo surrounds you

At the Church bazaar I nearly went too far

And open fields of eucalyptus westward bound

Give yourself up to the allure of

The future’s swathed in Stars and Stripes
