EDITED FROM LAST VERSION
I totally agree that this is the best song on the album. Maybe one day someone will
post it with drop tuning, but this is standard tuning.
(To make fingerwork easier: put capo on second fret to make it an F# chord but with an E
fingering. Get it? In which case you'd be fingering E, A, E, A B, c#m, A, B... for
the beginning of the verse)
**Note: When playing the final chord of the chorus, I believe the artist's tuning
creates a B chord with a Major 7th added, or Major B7 chord (not a dominant 7, which instead
would add a minor 7th). At this moment, either a B, a Major B7, or an a# minor chord
sound pretty good to me.
