Drop D Tuning:
(Low to High) D-A-D-G-B-E

It's a pretty easy song, especially the beginning.  A tip for all you Tremonti fans:
Tremonti's a great guitarist as we all now, but everything he plays is quite easy.
The tip behind learning how to play his songs is to learn the scales that he's learned.
Once you've mastered them, then you can play everything he does with no troubles.
I don't know if you can find them on the internet, but I bought a book about him and
it had the scales, so I learned them, and now everything's pretty easy.
