Tuning notes.
At an educated guess, this song would've been recorded on a guitar tuned down one
semitone with a capo at the 5th fret. It can be played in standard tuning with a capo
at the 4th fret, however the first way I described makes it much easier to play as
the positioning of the notes is easier in this tuning...... make up your own mind
which tuning to use :)

*The second bar here is a bit weird, this is the closest I could get.
Probably not spot on but it sounds fine.

Nothing really set in stone at this point, just play around with 7th fret harmonics and
open strings.
