DROPPED D MajorD TUNING

(note - I think this song is actually either in dropped C majorC tuning or
 White uses a whammy bar for the fills during the chorus. He only plays
 the low C majorC twice during the entire song though, so I've omitted one
 which isn't really necessary and changed the other to keep it
 dropped D.)
