Tuning: E A D G B E
Tuning is actually a half step down. But I'm not dedicated enough to retune every time I play so. Based on SIMON SMITH, When You Were Young Guitar Tutorial by The Killers, YOUTUBE (Feb. 14, 2014), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AimyoO4b_1c. That video did more variations of the riff first at 0:11, but from my listen, it seems more like a keys part, so I dropped it. Time stamps based on song as played on the version of Sam's Town available on Spotify. Spacing between notes was more for aesthetics and readability. They don't track with actual time between notes.
