Tuning: Down a half step

E1 --- I play this as the first E in the chorus
E2 --- and this for the rest


For the verses, there are a number of structures you can use to play each of the parts.
This is just the first way I figured it out, and the way I have played it since.
You can change it as you see fit, perhaps by playing the first two parts as Open E and E minor.
