~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE HARD WAY - Sounds like the original, if you're able to do it...
Same as the easy way, with the following changes:

0x6200  E
X46200  C#m

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE BEST WAY - Put a 345- partial capo on the second fret. This is
how I play it. (I think Derek actually does it tuned DGDGAD, capo 2.)
Sounds like the original AND is easy to play.  Same picking pattern:

ox40oo  E    |  # = any string fingered # frets above the capo
x240oo  C#m  |  0 = capoed string not fingered
x022oo  B    |  o = uncapoed string not fingered
3x00oo  A    |  c = uncapoed string fingered at same fret as the capo
2x4222  G#m  |  x = any string not played
cx00oo  F#m
