Tuning :
---------
For this song you need a double dropped D tuning (Neil's favourite
alternative tuning).
To get this, just tune both E strings down a tone (a whole step) so they
both end up at D.
Check them with the 'normal' D string to check they're in tune.
Chord Shapes :
--------------
DADGBD DADGBD DADGBD
The sequence is : one bar of Em7, one bar of D5, two bars of Am11.
Keep repeating over and over .....
There are a lot of little variations you can try - one thing he tends to
do on the live versions is hammer on to the Em7 shape like this :
D---0------0----------------
B---0------0-----------------
G---0------0----------------
D---0h2----2-------------------
A---0h2----2------------------
D---0h2----2-------------------
You could also hammer on the note on the B string for the Am7 chord :
D----0----0------0----0-----
B----0h1--1------0h1--1---------
G----0----0------0----0-----
D----2-------2------------
A----0-------0------------
D-----------------------
Experiment with your own variations on these chords.
When soloing he also goes for harmonics on the live versions - try harmonics
on the top 4 strings (DGBD) at the 5th and 7th frets.
