 | You can also play it without capo if you dont have one handy.
 G-C-D-E

 | I wouldn't know how the song goes (don't really care that much either), but diatonically thinking G-C-D-E seems stupid. Thinking it like that the E would obviously be Em because the minor third of Em is g, and if it were Emaj it would be a G#.
It doesn't really sound all that odd though (the accidental that is), and well like said I really don't know is the song made like that, but that's a thing I really didn't expect to see in a hiphop song. "simple" music is usually diatonic because that's the only thing that sounds good and ..."simple" to most.

 | the song doesn't sound conventional.  i'm at work so i can't listen to the song to find out but yeah logically it would be an Em.  not sure if outkast has much background in music theory though. |

 You're totally right. I was just fucking around on my guitar and didnt have a capo handy, while reading this thread. I noticed it sounded pretty good as G-C-D-E, so I figured I would post it incase anyone wanted to play it without one. I've since played it at a friends house and people were impressed, though of course none of them were guitar players, so I was able to kinda sneak one past them. Basically, as long as you are playing to a crowd with little knowledge of guitar, you can pass off pretty much anything that sounds remotely close.

 | (force beat from not sustaining chord) ie bounce hand some ..
G move to C/D(open B) with little e with C on 3rd fret, go to D  tehn little e back to 3rd fret with D, then E . E to me seems dark for such pop maybe a E/G as in open E with 3rd fret of big e.  maybe i need to read my chord chart next time in the bathroom for the names of hybrid chords
