Who will fall far behind?

I play this one a step down and sing it all in falsetto...pretty close to the original...however I play in STANDARD tuning...Thanks for the awesome tab!
Really great tab,sounds perfect for me!!my 5th string broke on my steel guitar cause i was being an idiot and didnt think to just tune down from a and instead a tried to go all the way up,got to c# and it snapped so i wipped out the nylon and it sounds fabulous!!!
Such a hassle to tune to open c! but sounds good once you do :)
