To hear the track, copy and paste this link:
FINE TUNING: The original album and single version
are flat of standard tuning. Maybe the backing
tracks were slowed down before adding the vocals,
or just mixed at a different studio with
uncalibrated tape decks.
To match the pitch, using a chromatic tuner for
reference, de-tune your strings down by
approx. minus 45 cents below standard pitch.
Live concert versions may be more likely to be in
standard pitch and then no detuning
would be necessary, but don't use TV studio
appearances, as they were usually just mimed
to the original studio track.
