Gary Green played a 12 string acoustic on this track, live he is
tuned down a full tone, and then a capo added at the 2nd fret
to bring it back to standard tuning. Presumably having it in a
lower tuning helped take pressure of the guitar neck, or maybe
for other songs in a live set using the acoustic he was in a
dropped tuning of DGCFAD and just took the capo off for those...?
