As far as I can tell, this is tuned in the typical staind setting except without a 
D (Db).  I mean it is standard E tuning with everything lowered 1 half step.  I know this 
aren't perfect (especially since I figured them out on my acoustic), but this sounds very close...
You can play either D or Dsus;  sometimes it's better to uses the Dsus because he sings 
G, but either should work fine
Dsus {X O O 2 3 3}
