Version 1A - Alternate Open Tuning
**********************************
+ As noted in the comments below, there is a guitar lesson video from Win Butler playing the song
tuned "differently" as follows: c# A# F# C# F# F#. The low E tuned up as high c#,
and the high e tuned down as low F#. If you try it, be careful when adjusting the strings :)!
