Standard Tuning
This borrows lightly from the other tab on here. 
I don't know what to call the second A chord with the muted D string, but it gives it that drone you need.  
Make sure to really mute it. I'm not sure that chord is perfect but all the rest seems exact.
The As at the end of verses are in first position, as chord chart sort of shows.
