First off, hats off to Daffdogg, whose version is likely the correct way
to play this song, but for anyone else like me who can't play the x3225x
chord properly, here's an alternative version if you don't mind retuning
your guitar and can handle more dexterity with your picking hand than
your fretting hand.

***This is the major trade-off with this tuning; the first chord of
the bridge doesn't sound as crips as it does in standard tuning.
Here, you could also play this as 1232xx, but it's perhaps a slight
improvement if at all. I play the 1212xx as a bar chord so I can
easily slide into x2222x as a bar as well, but that's just because
I'm lazy. ;P
