Open D tuning
D A D F# A D
(Low to high)
Note: On the album, he plays with a kapo on the second fret, so the song is
in the key of E. If you're trying to match the album version and don't have
A kapo, you can also play it in Open E (E B E G# B E)

(The solo on the album is more vocal than instrumental,
so there's not really a point in tabbing it.)
