This one has been done before. This way it might be easier to play.
The  Cchord used could be a simple  Cor the Csus2(x32030/x32033). I like using the
basic  Cin the verses and then switch to the  Csus2in the chorus. They both work in
either place. In the chorus I like to hammer on/off the G note on the high E string
Tuning: 1/2 step down (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb)
[Intro] D
