I believe, originally this is played in Drop Db-Tuning.
If your guitar is tuned a half-step down (Db or Eb-Tuning), the chords
below refer to the familiar chord shapes. I.e. if you want to get
the right chords for a standard tuned guitar, you'll have to transpose -1.
Power Chords pretty much all the whole way through.
xxx means muting the strings while you strum them, often used as some sort of build-up
