Tuning: open F#:  F#
                  A#
                  F#
                  C#
                  A#
                  F#

Tune your bottom E string down to F#, so that it matches the first chord played during the song.
Then tune on these frets (5-5-5-4-5 being standard tuning): 4-3-5-4-9

I am unsure of what these actual chords are as this is not a standardized tuning, so 
with me and ignore the chord name; just follow the fingering.

F#:     0-0-0-0-0-0------------| (open strum)

You are basically playing variations of the chord phrases you found in the song, with 
exception of this little ditty:

Open strumming the entire time! (meaning strum all 6 strings) just slide your index 
onto the notes:

F#|--0----------------|
A#|--0----------------|
F#|--0-h-2-\-4--------|
C#|--0----------4-----|
A#|--0------------3---|
F#|--0----------------|

Once you've figured out the timing, the song is relatively simple.
