On the records the leads are played on another guitar without a capo, sometimes in two octaves at once. This is how I would do it on a single guitar. The chords should match what’s played on the acoustic in the recording, but where the lead comes in it’s a compromise between the two guitars.
Standard tuning
Capo at second fret
Chords are identified by correct pitch but frets are given relative to capo.
