You need to capo the third fret, then play the chords as if this were
the original fret (ie so where I write Em you get Gm)
This is the intro:

Reading Judy Blume

But you came too soon

You’re too tall, much too tall for a boyfriend

Don’t be scared of the books you’ve read
Em A
You’re the heroine, you’ll be doing fine

Bestowing the memory of good and evil

On the ones you left behind

The heartless swine

How you love, and a halo surrounds you

At the Church bazaar I nearly went too far

And open fields of eucalyptus westward bound

Wouldn’t you like to get away

Give yourself up to the allure of

Catcher In The Rye
Em
The future’s swathed in Stars and Stripes
