hint:
ACOUSTIG GUITAR plays these chords with empty strings.
You can use a capo on first fret while playing
the given chords as if you play Em, C, G, D.
Remember: These are the same chords as Fm, Db, Ab, Eb.
I will tab the song in standard tuning without capo,
because not everyone has such a tool.

Fm, Db, Ab, Eb,
Fm, Db, Ab, Eb
