Tame Impala - Elephant from their 2012 album Lonerism The main riff actually uses a low D note on the low E string. You have to tune down from E to D to do that, but I'm tabbing this song in standard for simplicity. If you want to be exact, then change your tuning to drop D and use the open string. That's how Kevin plays it, but it isn't 100% essential, especially if you can't be bothered retuning. You could also just turn it into a D power chord as well to compensate.
