Tuning: Drop C# (Drop D then half a step down)

This is my favourite song off the new album. I really wanted to know how to play
that cool intro and chorus bit so had to work it out for myself. I figured I had
worked out the hard bit so tried to finish the whole song. There are a couple of
bits missing and I know for a fact that some of the phrasing is incorrect but I
plan on making corrections as I work it out.

Additional thanks to jamest54.
