Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground guitar chords

I just heard (the brand new?) Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground for the first time 10 minutes ago. It's evident that the guitar in that song is not in standard tuning. I happened to have my acoustic guitar in CACGBC tuning (used in Til Kingdom Come), and thought I heard similar chords.

 

So I picked up the guitar and found out that CACGBC is most likely the tuning used in NMFWTTG. I haven't had the time to put together a complete chord pattern, but here are some chords you could try (I used the same chord names as the X&Y tab book used). They are probably in the order of "appearance" :P:

 

.......C5..Csus2...C*....C...Gsus4...

C|-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----

B|-----1-----3-----5-----5-----8-----

G|-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----

C|-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----

A|-----3-----5-----7-----3-----10----

C|-----0-----x-----x-----0-----x-----

I'm pretty busy at the moment, so if anyone wants to match the chords with the lyrics - feel free!

Yeah it really sounds like til kingdom come. Although I think the tuning is CACGBE and not CACGBC. When I get home I'll try it on my guitar though.

yeah it sounds like til kingdom come, but sorry how to do you tune the e string, I mean the lowest the sixth, to c? you put in on the 9th fret and then make it sound like the a string?

and then the d to c, you put it on the a string 3th fret and then tune the other one to make it sound like c?

I'm not 100% sure, 'cause those tunings sound pretty much the same. But I think CACGBC has a nicer clang.

That would be right. You could also use this online guitar tuner:
