Okay, so I don't think this is exactly right, probably because 
I think John's guitar was slightly out of tune when it was 
recorded, but this is my best effort, and I think it's pretty 
darn close.

but I didn't believe him.

So I took a listen to this myself 'cause the D-Bb transition didn't sound quite right, 
and I think I've got a more accurate version? 
At least based on the version I listened to; 
I'll leave the old one up just in case it happens to match a different recording,
but this should be accurate to the version linked on the wiki.

Tuning: Tune down 1/4 step

E: 022100
A/Asus4: 0022(2/3)0
B: 224442

(you can also play this with a capo on 2, playing D/G(sus4)/A respectively,
but the barred B sounds better in my opinion)
