This is a fingerstyle version of the song Fast Car by Tracey Chapman. I based the fingerstyle version
by watching Igor Presnyakov's arrangement.
Igor is playing with a half step down and a capo on the second fret.. but you can also play it with
standard tuning and the capo on 1 fret.
Tracey is playing with standard tuning and capo on the second fret 

E flat (D#) 
A flat (G#) 
D flat (C#)  ( In case you want to see the tuning with half a step down )
G flat (F#) 
B flat (A#) 
E flat (D#) 


I have a cover of this fingerstyle tab on Youtube so check that out and see how it sounds like and play along. 
Give it a like and subscribe if you want, thank you! :)
