yes i use alternate tuning because that was the way it was meant to be played, im not
transcribe it to another tuning so u go ahead if u want to
 
this is a really good song, my favorite on the new cd, very simple i figured out most of
except the solo which ill get back to, this is most of what i figured out.
 
the strumming pattern on the intro/chorus isnt difficult so i just wrote where to place
fingers, i didn't bother to put the pattern
 
intro/chorus (clean)
