===================================================================

This song of course sounds best if you tune the guitar down half 
a step, but it's not necessary. The chords listed below are all 
relative to position, not pitch. For example, anything listed as 
an "E" is really "Eb", due to the lower tuning, but it's been 
named "E" because the fingering is the way you'd play an "E" if 
the guitar were in standard tuning, and so on...

The song is fairly straightforward. Just play the chords indicated
below and you're in business. One thing to make note of are the 
"Bm" chords in the outro section. To make the song sound as correct
as possible, I would either add some additional ascending bass 
notes leading back up to the "D" chord while strumming "Bm", or 
you could also fit in another "A/C#" chord instead (either sounds
fine). At this point in the song, there's so much layering of
instruments that it's hard to tell exactly what chords are being
played, but if you take either one of these suggestions, it will
sound most like it.
