Tuning: E A D G B E
For this to match the studio recording, you need to tune your 6th string down a step (Drop D in standard
tuning). Then, place your capo at the 4th fret. The fret positions in the tab for the intro/verse and outro
figures are numbered as they would be without a capo. For those who just want to strum the verses, I placed
the chord names accordingly. The chords are named/tabbed as if in standard position.
