To play this song as in the original key, you're required to put a Capo on the 2nd fret. It's not necessary to play with a capo, the only effect It'll have is that if you're going to sing, you're required to sing two semi-tones lower, which is no biggie.
But since I haven't explained what a Capo is, I'ts time for it now I suppose!
A capo is a device used on the neck of a guitar to shorten the lenght of playable strings, hence raising the pitch. A picture explains it.
