Instead of tuning to E B G D A E you need to be tuned down a half step to\r\n[tab][ch]Eb[/ch] [ch]Ab[/ch] [ch]Db[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bb[/ch] Eb.\r\n(There are other versions of this song he does live and it's tuned down a whole step)[/tab]\r\n\r\nThen there's the chords. Because we're tuned half a step down the chords below are\r\nthe shapes of the chords, they're not the sounds. So the E is an E shape not an E\r\nsound. When we're tuned down a half step and E shape will actually be an Eb.\r\n\r\nWhere the x is on the B and C#m Ed rests his middle finger on the bottom string to\r\nmute it and on the Asus he wraps his thumb round the top to mute it.\r\n\r\n[tab]      [ch]E[/ch]    [ch]Asus[/ch]    [ch]B[/ch]     [ch]C#m[/ch]    [ch]F#m[/ch]    [ch]A[/ch]
