OK, I see all the tabs for this song saying that you gotta tune your guitar a 
certain way. Well, the truth is you don't. You can play the song in regular tuning.
The chords you need are...
The E chord, the B chord, and the A. With the E chord you have to do a little 
hammer on. The G string is hammered on the 2nd fret. If you listen to the song you 
can hear where it's played. It's like this...

The story behind the song

"She Talks To Angels" captures the poignant story of a young woman lost in her own world, a "goth girl" living with heroin addiction, as explained by Chris Robinson. The lyrics paint a picture of someone deeply alone, who "don't know no lover" and to whom others can only call out by name, unable to truly reach her. This powerful track from The Black Crowes' debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, released in 1990, delves into themes of isolation and the silent battles people face. It plays like a tender, yet raw, observation of a soul adrift.
