Down Down - Status Quo

Tabs and lyrics
Tunning: Open G tuning (D G D G B D)
To play the rhythm guitar to make it sound like
Francis plays it, I would prefer to tune the guitar like this:

(From the thickest string to the thinnest)
D-G-D-G-B-D and put a capo on the 4th fret. The number
I set for frets will be 0=4, 1=5, 2=6 etc... This means
that a 0 will be an open string play with the capo on the
4th fret, 1 will be the 5th fret if you didn't have the capo etc

I'll show you here:

7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. fret no. WITHOUT capo on
-----|-----|-----|-----|--#--|-----|-----|-----| D <-THICKEST string--!!
-----|-----|-----|-----|--#--|-----|-----|----------------------------!! G
-----|-----|-----|-----|--#--|-----|-----|----------------------------!! D
-----|-----|-----|-----|--#--|-----|-----|----------------------------!! G
-----|-----|-----|-----|--#--|-----|-----|----------------------------!! b
-----|-----|-----|-----|--#--|-----|-----|-----| D <-THINNEST string--!!
4. 3. 2. 1. (capo HERE) <= fret no.WITH capo on
(these numbers are in
these tabs!)


[Intro]

Francis' guitar opening: REMEMBER CAPO ON THE 4TH FRET!
NB! Have you retuned your guitar like mentioned above??
