This song is in the key of C. To make it sound like the record, you need to tune to drop D, then tune everything down a full step. Please don't comment that my chord chart is completely wrong when you didn't read the above notice. It should look like this: E tuned to D B tuned to A G tuned to F D tuned to C A tuned to G E tuned to C Chords used: G5: Fsus4: F: F: D: D-x D-1 D-3 D-x D-x A-3 A-1 A-3 A-5 A-2 F-2 F-0 F-0 F-5 F-2 C-0 C-3 C-0 C-5 C-2 G-0 G-3 G-x G-x G-0 C-0 C-x C-5 C-x C-x Intro: G5 Verse 1:

Outro: Vamp on D5 *Note* If you prefer, you can play the F/C in place of the Csus4 throughout the song. I think the open note sounds better, and is what is being played on the album. Try both and you'll agree it's very hard to tell. The F/C looks like this: D-1 A-1 F-2 C-3
