  1. Also easy to play on standard tuning.. Just migrate every lower E chord 1 tone back and forget about picking the string on the D chord which is the only one impossible to do it..

    The rest seems pretty good to me compared with the original =)

    Sometimes it is just too much trouble to retune the guitar ^^

  2. For this song this is a DOUBLE DROP D tunning, And chords are

    (x24432— x46664—555000—x02020 )you can check on youtube there is the end of this song, and the variations. !
