This is what Dennis Huige (guitarist of Racoon) plays in his lesson:
To get the tuning right you can put a capo on the first fret and tune your guitar into standard eBGDAE tuning
Then take your capo off and you should have it in D# G# C# F# A# D#
This first riff is repeated throughout all the verses.

Could you help me, mother, father?
Could you do this thing for me?
I'm alone, nobody bothers
No one's looking out for me
D#|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G#|--10----10----6-----5-----6-----3------5-----------------------------------| C#|--10----9-----7-----5-----7-----3------5-----------------------------------| F#|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A#|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D#|--10----8-----6-----5-----6-----3------5-----------------------------------|
Could you help me, mother, father?
Cause my time is running out
And there's nothing here for no one
Here my heart to hand me down

Could you help me, mother, father?
I'm not asking for the truth
I don't need that whole damn package
Just a little more of you
D#|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G#|--10----10----6-----5-----6-----3------5-----------------------------------| C#|--10----9-----7-----5-----7-----3------6-----------------------------------| F#|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A#|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D#|--10----8-----6-----5-----6-----3------5-----------------------------------|
Could you help me, darling sister?
When I'm stuck and all alone
I don't want to be nobody's mister
It's the loneliest of homes

Can you help me out, my brother?
Could you do this thing for me?
Cause I'm stuck down in the cutter
And there ain't no friend I see
D#|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G#|--10----10----6-----5-----6-----3------5-----------------------------------| C#|--10----9-----7-----5-----7-----3------6-----------------------------------| F#|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A#|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D#|--10----8-----6-----5-----6-----3------5-----------------------------------|

I'm crying out to you

When I'm cold out on the ground
I'm no stranger to the gutter
And I'm a friend to down and out
