Tuning is actually CGCGGe, which obviously changes the second string for this whole tab

Nice tab of the song but your spacing REALLY BLOWS!! Please fix this before another five years go by. ***** for now... but if someone out does your tab, its ****.

I'd write a correction, but then again it would be more efficient just to write a whole new tab. Not that this is wrong, it's certainly one way to play it, but the actual tuning used makes WAY more sense and is easier to play. Props to the tabber though, who obviously figured this out by ear without any other information.
