I'm pretty sure Eric tuned down a half step and played this in Em. Anyway, that's how I've done here which makes a few of the chords more playable ( at least the way I've transcribed it- email me with any alternative suggestions.) Use a clean sound, neck pickup, some reverb etc. Also, if anybody has some on that harp arpeggio around 1:10, please advise.
