Note: In the recording I have, the whole song is a little sharp. If 
you play along with the recording on a guitar tuned with a digital 
tuner you'll find the chords in the chart just a little low. If you 
play the song a half step higher you'll find the half step is too 
high. 

I suspect that the record's producers wanted a little more energy 
from the track, and so sped it up just a little. Speeding up the 
track would also make it just a little bit higher in pitch. This was 
not an unusual practice when the track was recorded in 1973. 

To test my theory I used iRehearse, which is a digital phrase trainer 
that allows you to change the pitch and/or tempo of digital sound 
files. (It's a great rehearsal tool.) 

By lowering the pitch about 1/4 semi-tone (aka -30 "cents") I was 
able to bring the recording back into perfect tune.
