Tuning: Drop C (C,G,C,F,A,D)

Notes: I know Cold does not use Drop C tuning they usually play in C Standard, 
       but since that's a pretty low tuning for the average guitar to get to, I
       learned this song in a more conventional Drop C tuning. Not wrong by any
       means, it still sounds exactly like the song, just different how you
       have to play it.
