Tuning: E A D G B E

The best way to get the sound right is to capo the first 5 strings and leave the 6th string open. Use UG to
transpose down two half-steps to D. When you do that a lot of D/D chords will appear. Play those with the
sixth string open. If you play each bass note and then strum the chord you will get that Jack Johnson feel.
