great tab, sound nice, but to leave the standard tuning i'd recommend to do this instead, for the intro: E|--------2------|----------------|--------2------|-----------------| B|-3-------------|---------0------|-5-------------|--------0--------| G|----2--------2-|-2--------------|----4--------4-|-4---------------| D|---------------|----2---------2-|---------------|----4----------4-| A|-2----2----2---|----------------|-4----4----4---|-----------------| E|---------------|-2-----2----2---|---------------|-4----4-----4----| E|--------2------|----------------|--------2------|----| B|-3-------------|---------0------|-5-------------|-0--| G|----2--------2-|-2--------------|----4--------4-|-4--| D|---------------|----2---------2-|---------------|-4--| A|-2----2----2---|----------------|-4----4----4---|----| E|---------------|-2-----2----2---|---------------|-4--| still i give it 5 stars since it still sounds correct. great tab

+16

instead of risking ANOTHER high e string, i just played a 7 on the B string instead of a 0 on the f# string and left it in standard notation

+13

You could always tune the other 5 strings down, and put a capo on the 2nd fret. That's what I do
