The song is in C mixolydian (C-D-D-F-G-A-Bb), but sometimes a B shows up.
I haven't bothered to TAB it out since it really wouldn't help with the whole
feel of the song, and is kind of against Richard's whole philosophy anyway--
he doesn't play anything the same way twice. It's better to improvise within
the feel of the song, which is slow, solemn, and bluesy, than to learn exactly
what he plays. He said exactly that on his Homespun Lesson Tape, so I don't
feel this is a stretch of logic!

You can play the song quite adequately in standard, but you won't get
the same bass feel. Also, Richard frequently plays octave bass runs like:
G___0___2-sl-3-sl-2_____________
G___0___2-sl-3-sl-2_____________
DO
These are _much_ easier when you have the octave G strings as open, since
you can damp out the B string more easily. (Actually, I was led to using this
tuning because I heard these, tried to play them in standard, and was
disappointed. :)
