I believe that BC plays this song in some type of open tuning, but I can't figure out
which one. I also think they often tune down a 1/2 step from the open tuning.
All that to say, I have some questions about how correct this one is, but this version
works for me. I'm sure there are a couple of errors, and I welcome suggestions to fix
them. This song is a bit tricky for my ear.
