You're both right; he's going to play it open, AND it's in D-flat.
Like many other Goats tunes, this one is played tuned 1/2 step down, using the following open chords
(when referring to them, I'm going to ignore the flats for ease's sake):
BASIC CHORDS/RIFFS:
D Asus4 A G Fill
Eb ---2----0-----0----3-- -----2---
Bb ---3----3-----2----3-- -----3---
Gb ---2----2-----2----0-- -----2---
Db ---0----2-----2----0-- -----0---
Ab ---0----0-----0----x-- -0-2-0---
Eb ---x----x-----x----3-- -----x---
OVER-ALL NOTES:
- There are only three real progressions/strumming patterns: Instrumental Verse, Verse, and Chorus.
- There are two small, but important differences between the two verse parts:
1. The instrumental verse includes the fill.
2. The instrumental verse hits each chord a half-beat early, whereas the vocal verse hits each new chord right on the 1-beat.
- The chorus is easy except the last measure, which (due to the fill being included), has one extra half beat.
TABLATURE:
- INSTRUMENTAL VERSE PART (starts with lead-in fill):
