    I've always thought it was an open F, at least thats what it sounds like to me when I hit an F like that.

    E 1
    B 1
    G 2
    D 3
    A X
    E X

    i play it in standard tuning with a capo on the 5th fret. So the beginning F chord is played like you would play a C chord normally.

    transcribe from there.
    "I'll do whatever the song dictates - if it doesn't need a real lead, then I won't do one. But if it does, then I'll fuckin' go off." - Mike

    "Japan is awesome; the fans there knew all the words to all the songs...at least phonetically." - Stone

    "I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version." - EV

    You can play it with standard tuning with a capo at the 5th, but I learned it with the hi-E detuned to a C. With the capo at the 5th, your F chord becomes an open-C chord (play an open-C chord above the capo, and it's an F).
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.
