I've also sent this off to olga.net, so it may look familiar.
For the electric part the guitar is in Dropped Db, but 
the acoustic is in Standard Eb tuning. (NOTE: Since we
tune down I'll refer to a chord by its tonality. This 
means while you'll be fingering a "C" chord, it will 
actually sound out as "B".) I have two different sections;
Section 1 is for someone who wants to do an acoustic version,
Section 2 is for a band who plans on playing the electric
version.
