I wasn't exact on timings or number of times to repeat everything, but by listening to the song it is easy to follow along. I guess the song could also be played in standard tuning, just move everything down one fret, but for the intro and prechorus the way I have them you need to tune down. Also, there are two guitars in this song but I don't know all the little fills and stuff that the other guitar plays, but this is all the main stuff you need to play it good.
