I have taken a little time to do a version of this, there are several posted but none are complete.
By far the simplest way to play this is is to tune down a semi tone to Eb, you can of course leave
your guitar in standard tuning and transpose down (-1 on the auto transpose on the left of your screen)
giving you Eb Ab Bb and Cm if you wish. Song is in the key of Eb (something to do with bagpipe tuning)

There's a little turnaround after the first chorus, isn't there?
