Alright. I also recently bought a capo and was looking around at some capo-tabs and I just don't get it. For instance, on Wonderwall i think it says put the capo on the 2nd fret. If you do that, then you can't play the chords in the tab.

You play "relitive" to the capo. As in, if you are capoed at 2nd fret, the 3rd becomes "1" on the tab.
