This is the first online tab I've seen to a great Social D MajorD song that is has been featured live on
their most recent tour. You can check out the song online on lots of different websites.

Great SxDx song!

Tuning: EADGBE (CAPO ON 1st Fret) They usually tune down a 1/2 step and capo the 2nd
 Either works.  Most of their stuff uses a Capo and instead of tuning up, I think he gets
the volute on the early 70's Les Pauls by using the Capo. Just a thought.

I'll add the solo later.

This should get you pretty close.
