I guess it can work in D Standard as well, but I think this is the right tuning.
I got it by watching the 1991 TV Live performance. I think it's exactly how it's
played on the record with the only difference being that he strums the string
the second time he plays the intro riff, in that live (while on the record he
just follows the guitar picking).

This way it's also easier if anyone would like to make a guitar tab out of it.

It's a really cool song, very fun to play.
I hope you enjoy it!
