Perfect, for some reason all the chord patterns are messed up and I think this tab is meant for UKE but just google the proper chord shapes for guitar and it sounds good :)

I drop down all the strings (D#,G#,C#,F#,A#,D#) and play the open chords, and it sounds perfect. I then play the G,C, and B as barchords, and move them up 1 fret higher than their normal positions, to cancel out the tuning down. It sounds perfect like this, and is much easier than playing it with the flat chords. Hope that helps :)
