Tuning: This song has a strange tuning.It's not standard, but it's not a half step down.Actually, in order to play this song identically the tuning required might be "one
quarter" step down. It's almost standard, but the original song doesn't fit standard tuning at all. Anyway, it sounds good using a Standard tuning.
