MAKE SURE YOU READ ABOUT THE TUNING BEFORE JUMPING INTO THE TAB!!!
==================================================================
The tuning is weird. Chris and Dave might play it a half step down
or something else. I don't know for sure. But if you use the tuning
below, it will be just fine!!
(DADGGe)
High e: stays the same
B: tune down to G \ these stings will sound
G: stays the same / the exact same
D: stays the same
A: stays the same
Low E: tune down to D
==================================================================
