Some folks like to get away take a holiday from the n'borhd

Note: (t-1) = tune the low-E string down a half note to Eb, before playing. (t-2) = tune down another half step to D. If this is done, the low-E string in 4 chords of the last line must be played 2 frets higher than standard tuning (as shown here).
