Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
This tuning seems to be accurate with the studio version but his live versions seem to make use of a standard
capo 2 tuning.
These tabs come originally from Frans Kuijpers at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmbxdCj-GDA
So thank him! I edited as needed for formatting and fixed one mistake.
Something that is important to note is the bass notes alternate at times that are hard, and to compensate,
Frans moves his fingers as playing the bass notes. I have found using my thumb for the F chord helps and just
switching my ring finger as I play is the best way.
