Dust 
By: Little May
Fab song & band. 
This is the general gist (not perfect, but I reckon it's close) 
of the rhythm guitar/Liz Drummond's part
(lead guitar/Annie Hamilton's part is in standard tuning),
and corresponds to the full 5:07 version of the song. 
Highly recommend checking out the live performances, esp. acoustic,
for variations/fingering/strumming/timing, etc. 
Cheers!
