This is how Kevin plays Bloodhound acoustically. 
CHORDS

TUNING
Standard is fine, but if you want to play along with Kevin in the video above, he's
tuned down half a step.
NOTES
If you can do it comfortably, I recommend holding the "D" shape between A and Bdim and 
sliding between the two.
During the bridge you may like to drop the high E string when playing the D chord 
occasionally. It's also fun
during this section to use the power chord (577xxx) version of A, so that you can slide 
back into the E.
This song is really fun to play, enjoy!
PS Good luck with the "woo" parts.
