Good tab! Just one correction - at the start of the chorus, d|-------------------------------------------------------0---------| a|-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0---------------0-| g|---4-------4-------0-------0-------7-------7-------0-------0-----| d|-----0---0---0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0---| a|-2---------------4-------7-------9-------9-----------------------| d|-------------------------------------------------5-------5-------| should be d|-------------------------------------------------------0---------| a|-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0---------------0-| g|---4-------4-------0-------0-------7-------7-------0-------0-----| d|-----0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0---| a|-2-------5-------4-------7-------5-------9-----------------------| d|-------------------------------------------------5-------5-------| and likewise the second time it appears. If you listen carefully, he only plays the 9th fret once - the first time he plays 5 so the bass line goes 2 5 4 7 5 9 instead of 2 5 4 7 9 9. And the first 5 is the same as playing the open D-string like you wrote, but I feel it goes better with the pattern of the song to play the 5th on the A.

nope, this isn't standard tuning. tune both e strings one full step down to d and tune the b string 1 full step down to a. then use a capo on the 4th fret.

Can someone just confirm for me, this isn't standard tuning is it?
