Song: Lookin' Out My Back Door
Band: Creedence Clearwater Revival (Ccr)

I think this is how they play it..
I watched a video on youtube and he starts with a C chord...

This sounds spot on ...
Tuning depends on which version you find; some are whole step down, some half step, some standard.
Tune down a half step to match original recorded version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aae_RHRptRg
