This is the original version of the song covered by Carlos Santana and Steven Tyler.
This version has a much more somber mood than the more upbeat sounding Santana one. I
have to admit I like Damon's version much better.
Tune down a 1/2 step (D# G# C# F# A# D#, also noted as Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb).
All chords that I named below are relative to standard tuning (even though this song is
a 1/2 step down) so that I wouldn't have to give chord names that many (including me)
would be unfamiliar with.
