thanks bro =] my friend and I are going to cover this song
if, like me, you cant be bothered to tune the first string down to a d, just play it as is on an e and move all the notes on the a string two frets up. be careful you still sing in the right key though, as it will be a little higher than the original song :]
thank you sm <333
