The song would be in A but this way it would be the clearest for everybody because they play the chords notated in G but with capo on the second fret, else it would become rather confusing.
That's what I thought, too, which is why I'm still having trouble sorting it out. It seems like I'd give the guitar player the lead sheet in G with a notation re: the capo, and everyone else the lead sheet in A? My brain hurts...
