Tuning (low to high): Eb G Bb F Bb Eb

The numbers tell you which fret to use when comparing strings. (Normal tuning
is E 5 5 5 4 5 written this way)

anyhow.. but for now
Then it repeats.. you get the idea!!
This of course isn't EXACTLY how she plays it, but I think that if you listen
to the recording, you'll get it. Let me know if you find a better way, or
one that makes more sense.
Enjoy and let me know what you think.. I'm working on "The Angel in the
House" - tuning (from low to high) Eb Bb Eb F Bb Eb.
