all you idiots complaining about the tuning should be slapped. it's in standard d not drop d. if you knew how to read you would have SEEN THE NOTES DIRECTLY BESIDE IT! Open up your eyes for once, dirty twats.

It's standard D not drop D; and the dude got the tuning backwards. - D G C F A D - (^from low to high^) still an excelent tab, great work
