I have yet to see a correct tab for this song along with many others on Sing the Sorrow. First of all, the entire album was recorded tuned a half step down, except The Leaving Song (part 1) is either in standard tuning or Eb with a capo on the first fret. In addition, on The Great Disappointment and Paper Airplanes, Jade drops his Eb down to a Db. Anyone with a good ear can hear the low Db notes that he hits in those 2 songs. So this song is indeed tuned Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb, and anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong, period.
