Tuning: down 5 half-steps (baritone guitar?) / Standard
The song is in B. I tabbed out two versions here.
Buckingham used a gutar tuned down 5 half steps
2. If you don't want to do that: regular tuning but original key
For both versions: only the lower three strings of every chord are played
(root, fifth and octave).
