Ok, I play this song with a capo on the first fret and use the chords
Em, D, C, B and Am in the verses and C, B, Am, G, and Em in the
choruses. This seems to sound pretty close, but I think that Thurston
Moore tunes his guitars flat (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb).
Anyways, this was close enough for me...
... It's your world you can change it.
