Tuning: Down a half step


Chords:

      E1      B       Ab Minor   F# Minor   E2
e|------------7-------4----------2----------0-----------------------------------|
B|----9-------7-------4----------2----------0-----------------------------------|
G|----9-------8-------4----------2----------1-----------------------------------|
D|----6-------9-------6----------4----------2-----------------------------------|
A|----7-------9-------6----------4----------2-----------------------------------|
E|----0-------7-------4----------2----------0-----------------------------------|

E1 --- I play this as the first E in the chorus
E2 --- and this for the rest


For the verses, there are a number of structures you can use to play each of the parts.
This is just the first way I figured it out, and the way I have played it since.
You can change it as you see fit, perhaps by playing the first two parts as Open E and E minor.
