Iris by Goo Goo Dolls is a great song, but it's played in a very odd tuning (BDDDDD). 
I've looked around a bunch and I couldn't find one that sounded just right, so I've 
taken parts from various versions and combined them to make this version, which I 
feel is the best sounding for standing tuning.
