The original recording has two guitars; at least one of them is
tuned to open E, the other is likely in standard.  I play it in
open D because it's easier to tune down without breaking strings.

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
This is a very loose and general transcription.  There are many
other subtleties, fills, and licks missing or omitted here.
Listen to the song for the correct timing, etc, and play around with it.


Open-D tuning:  D-A-D-F#-A-D.

(You may want to add capo at the 2nd fret to match the original
recording, or tune to open E; the tab below will be the same.)
