After fully lifting this tune I'm convinced they recorded the original with guitars tuned to Eb.  but since I rarely have guitars tuned that way and Im lazy, I lifted it all in drop D.  all the notes are right, the chord shapes are just different to accommodate the difference in tuning.  Im convinced of this for two reasons; at the end of the tune when they're hitting the shots the guitar keeps playing the Eb root even when it hits the B power chord, which isn't natural feeling in drop D.  Second clue is during the verses you can occasionally hear the guitar throw out a low Eb even though the chords have them up around 5th position.  Other than that there's no reason not to play in drop D.  I think these chord shapes are more fun anyway.word.
