An interesting way to get lots of open strings ringing on an acoustic guitar
and still maintain that bass progression. The chords can either be strummed or picked.
From Verse 3 onwards, if you have another guitarist the riff on the G5 could be added.

OPEN TUNING: D-A-D-A-A-D

Tune bottom E string down to D
Tune G string up to A (Take care tuning up,old strings might not take it too well)
Tune B string down to A
Tune top E string down to D

A chromatic tuner can be helpful to check the notes.

If, like me, you find the original key is still too high to sing the very
high notes, drop the tuning down another whole tone to C-G-C-G-G-C. 
The chord shapes are the same, but will sound as C5 - Gsus4 - Am7 - Fsus2,
and as an F5 for that high riff chord. You will need to take more care not to
play too heavily, particularly on the bottom string, as they are a lot slacker,
it may need a bit more fine tuning more often to keep all the strings in pitch.

NOTE:
I wouldn't recommend the low C tuning if you're using very light gauge strings.

PLEASE IGNORE ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES that the website might suggest,
and use the chord voicings shown below: 

 = 050000   = x02000   = x24000   = 555000    = x x x 10 10 12
