Tuning: EADAC#F#

I find that these voicings sound closest to the recording, but without
alternate tuning, are difficult for me to play (my hands are a bit small).
The top 3 strings are each 2 frets higher than usual (e.g tune the 'g'
string to be the equivalent of 7th fret on the D string, etc)
Still requires a bit of dexterity but I like how this sounds.
