Cut out tabs
There's a few clues in the recording that suggest this is the original tuning. One, it simply sounds better
since it's easier to fret the main chords. Two, the E2 chord seems to mute the G string, I'd bet that idea
from the G string actually being an A string.
However, standard tuning still works. The final chord sounds better in standard tuning, plus it's easier
to play E major chords. If you can somehow play B minor 9 the way John does live (I can't) then try it!
Enjoy!
