Tuning: Half-Step Down
War Paint. To play with the studio version you need to be a half-step down, but playing
this with a capo on the third or fifth(for me at least). Also, the F# seen in the 
chorus is barely noticable 
you feel smoother playing simply Em and Cadd9 then go for it. Enjoy!
Here's a video of me playing it if you want any more clarification with strumming or anything.
