Drop D Tuning Capo on 2 The G chord that he plays looks like this: DADGBE and the Em chord looks like this: DADGBE 550030 222000 Of course you can just play in regular tuning and keep the chords in their regular form, but this is how he plays it live. Also, in live versions, at the last Bm of every chorus, he does a pull off and a hammer on on the B string. He doesn't do it in the album version, but I think it sounds cool anyways. Listen to a live version to find the timing.
