Here's what I can make of it.

Tuning: DADGAD (tune high E, B, and low E down  whole step each).

Chords: I'm not going to bother giving these chords specific names because most of them are really weird.


    D   C   G   A   E   F#

D---0---0---0---0---0---0---
A---0---0---0---0---0---0---
G---7---5---0---0---9---11--
D---0---0---5---7---0---0---
A---5---3---0---0---7---9---
D---0---0---5---7---0---0---


Pluck the high A string (downtuned B string) before beginning.
