scott's right: this is a great song.  it is played on acoustic, but it's
standard tuning: eBGDAE.  it's also in barre chords. you only need 6
barre chords anyway, and they are B, A#mindim, G#, G#min, F#, and open E.
here they are in finger placing (in order):

e    7    6          4          4          2 0
B    7    6          4          4          2 0
G    8    6          5          4          3 1
D    9    8          6          6          4 2
A    9    7          6          6          4 2
E    7    6          4          4          2 0

listen to the cd to get the rhythm.

'Cause I'm thinkin' 'bout a brand new hope.  One I've never known, & now

Repeat the verse one more time and go back into the 1st chorus and then
repeat the walkdown 3 times. Then you just end on continuous B's. And
that's the song!
