Okay first off, this is my version of the song, and it's got some really cool voicings of
chords, and it sounds TONS  better then a good amount of Acoustic tabs on here.

The tuning. as strange as it is, is Open Dsus4.
Sounds crazy but really isn't.

Starting on Low E String:
DADGAD

simple tune your Low E DOWN to D, Tune Your B DOWN to A, and your High E DOWN to D.

Now you capo the 5th fret if you want it to be in the same key as the recording,
but when I play it, I don't use one.
 
Now look at the chord fingering carefully because they are unusual, and won't work in
standard tuning.


chords used

C (007700)
G (077900) or (777900) *the second one gives you a Fuller more Bass-y sound*
F (055700) or (555700) *See Above*
Cmaj7 (007704)
Fmaj7 (055000) or (555000) *See Above)

The Maj7 chords can just be played as the Regular chord, if it sounds better to you.
