The Slim - Sugar (Mould) tuning: (low to high) E A E A A E (tune 2nd string B down to A, 3rd string G up to the same A, 4th string D up to E. Be careful of high tension if you use heavier gauge strings, acoustic, etc) Alternate tuning: E A D G A E (this requires less retuning, but the chords are harder, and the solo is harder to get right. this could also be played in standard tuning with power chords, but I think the droning high E and A are important to the sound (your mileage may vary))
Chord Shapes (I figured these out, so they might not be right) (I know they're not major chords, but for convenience I just named each chord by its root)
