This one has been done before. This way it might be easier to play.
The C chord used could be a simple C or the Csus2(x32030/x32033). I like using the
basic C in the verses and then switch to the Csus2 in 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)
D
