Default Help with "Your Body is a Wonderland"

Hi,

Need help with on how to play "Your Body is a Wonderland." It looks and sounds simple, but I am having problems.

I have read John Mayer's column in Guitar World's Acoustic magazine and have downloaded the music from sheetmusicdirect.com. I have also played the song with a capo on the first fret and playing a Em chord.

I play it as both the tab and music notation show it, but it just does not sound right. The bass line and treble notes are not "synching."

I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can provide me. If someone can play the song correctly and can record and it email it to me as a mp3 attachment, please do. I can record how I play it and email it to you, so you can hear what I may be doing wrong.

Thanks

are you playing it in drop-d tuning?

Here's the correct tab: YBIAW

Play around with that and you should have no problem.
