Bernard Fanning - Thrill is Gone
Despite many other tabs, Bernard actually plays this song in an open E tuning with a capo on 1st fret.
This is how he achieves the open chord sound as seen on this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjp2aedIabM
He also plays it this way on the record as far as I can work out.
I will also try to tab the awesome live intro of this video at a later date.
Tabbed by: Hamish M Tuning: Open E (E B E G# B e)
(I have shown the open E tuning on the left however the song does use a capo [hence E 1 etc] on the 1st fret
effectively making it in an open F tuning) The fingerings are taken off a capo on the 1st fret.

Verse 2 (same as verse 1)
Chorus x 2 (same as Chorus 1)
Outro x 4 (same as intro)
I'm pretty confident this is how he actually plays it.
Hope it helps :)
