A slower song on "Halfway to Wonderland", the riff is kinda similar to that of
"Singin' to Find You".  There's no absolutely precise way to play the riff,
whenever Chris plays it, it varies a tiny bit.  Youtube the song to get the rhythm
of the riff and play what's tabbed and it will sound good, it isn't very nit-
picky.  Standard tuning with a capo on the 1st fret! :D
