The song is performed in another tuning. Maybe the chords are right but it doesn't sound the same. I hope to find one on the internet with the correct tuning.

the recording I'm going off of is tuned down half a step but I just went down a whole step and put a capo on first to make it easier. The riffs would be nice to know as well if you know them ;) thanks
