i had some fun with the guitar near the computer, and for the tunes i came across at amazon or my itunes:

seems about 30 are capo in 3rd position, primiarily in F

another 10 in 1st position

about half dozen in 4th or 5th positions

there are a few like DSMMN and ROD just played in G, no capo

same with Magnificent Outpouting but in D

definitively a heap of tunes in E, A or B...i did find about 25 in the key of D
