Volbeat tunes their guitars down one whole step, but i think this song is easier to play
with just a half step down: Eb-B-Gb-Db-Ab-Eb
Not perfect, but better than nothing.

[Verse 1]
COne word took the other
Cand suddenly we're stronger than we ever could imAmagine
CA bond that can go through the fire of hAmell
AmSharing one mind one heart forever
[Chorus]
DmI've been holding you Gfor a year or two
CYou're the reason wAmhy I'm holding up
DmAnd our love's gonnGa last forever
CWe'll be dancing the Amstreets again in Memphis
DmI hate every Gsec every Fminute you're Cgone
