Tuning: Full Step Down
I find it sounds best playing all chords as barr chords, with only the Cm and Dm beginning on the A 
string. It has some tricky strumming pattern especially near the end. It is possible to play this in half 
step down tuning but then you wouldn't be able to use the open strings to switch between chords.
   CmEveryAmone    Fmwho is the Amone
   Cmis out Amlooking for the Fmlast Amdoor.
   CmAnd if you Amare the Fmone my Amfriend 
you don't Cmneed to Amlook anyFmmore. Am  
  CmAnd if you Amare  Fmto my Amfriend
then you Cmknow there's Amno place left to Fmgo, Am  
  Cma reckless Amhate baby Fmwe don't Amneed

   DmHow else do you think I could talk to you 
except through the Ammusic?
   DmHow else do you think I could stop
the confusion that's in Amyour mind?
Come on, Dmsing me a song
