The only love I've known has slipped away

And I'll be damned to see them suffer one more day
 
[Chorus]
      B           Bb
On a cold, cruel July
           G#/D9                                 G/D9
We didn't know just when the pale horse would arrive
           G6                 A9
But love alone keeps us alive
N.C.
When we fear we can't go on at all

In the year of the tiger,        I heard a nightmare scream
        D9/Bb    D9  D9/G  D9/F   D9/Bb        D9  D9/G  D9/F
Cut above the din of every future dream
        D9/Bb       D9  D9/G  D9/F   D9/Bb               D9  D9/G  D9/F
In the year of the tiger,            well, you'd best believe
        D9/Bb          D9     D9/G  D9/F   D9/Bb        D9  D9/G  D9/F
I am haunted by the visions that     I've seen
 
[Chorus]

On a cold, cruel July
           G#/D9                                 G/D9
We didn't know just when the pale horse would arrive

But love alone keeps us alive
N.C.
When we fear we can't go on at all

[Verse]
        D9/Bb       D9  D9/G  D9/F   D9/Bb        D9  D9/G  D9/F
In the year of the tiger,          into an ocean grave
        D9/Bb       D9  D9/G  D9/F   D9/Bb        D9  D9/G  D9/F
Threw his ashes to the wind          then walked away
        D9/Bb        D9  D9/G  D9/F   D9/Bb            D9  D9/G  D9/F
In the year of the tiger,           I got no time to waste
        D9/Bb           D9     D9/G  D9/F   D9/Bb        D9  D9/G  D9/F
A resolution to keep fighting and remain
 
[Chorus]
      B           Bb
On a cold, cruel July
           G#/D9                                 G/D9
We didn't know just when the pale horse would arrive
           G6                 A9
But love alone keeps us alive
N.C.
When we fear we can't go on at all
 
[Outro]
         D9/Bb       D9  D9/G  D9/F
In the year of the tiger
         D9/Bb       D9  D9/G  D9/F
In the year of the tiger
         D9/Bb       D9  D9/G  D9/F
In the year of the tiger
         D9/Bb       D9  D9/G  D9/F
In the year of the tiger

If the official version is tuned to Drop C# with a capo on 8 but you can apparently play it this way (D Standard capo 7), what's stopping us from playing it in Standard tuning (E) with a capo on 5? OR just drop D capo 7?
