I always thought the tuning to this song was EADGCE (all the strings are tuned down a bit or something in the actual song), then the chords in the beginning are like:





E|0----0----x---|


C|0----0----0---|


G|9----0----4---|


D|10---2----5---|


A|10---2----5---|


E|8----0----3---|





Well, that's my version at least...

Good tab, I got some tips though:


When you only play a line of chords once, don't write "X 1" behind it.





Also I'd change the solo into the following:


|--------9-9----------9-9----------8-8----------|


|--6/7~------7-7-(7)------6-6-(6)---------------|


|--------------------------------------8-8-(8)--|


|-----------------------------------------------|


|-----------------------------------------------|


|----------------------------------------|





And at the outro, I think it goes three times the first line and once the last line (instead of two times each).





Cheers

chord progressions are as follows:





C Em G





F Em G





Dm C G





very easy (and nice) song.

The song is in Db with a capo on the first fret. With the capo you can play the chord voicings andrewsaturn stated.
