The song comeshere in two versions: in open D-tuning, as it's probably played by Lukahimself, and in normal tuning. We start with the open D-tuning.The man is alive - Luka BloomGd:------------------------|------------------------| A:------------------------|------------------------| G:---0--------0-----------|---0--------0-----------| D:------0--------0-----0--|------0--------0-----0--| A:------------------------|------------------------| D:5--------5--------5-----|5--------5--------5-----|G/Cd:-------------------------|------------------------| A:-------------------------|------------------------| G:----0--------0-----------|---0--------0-----------| D:-------0--------0--------|------0--------0-----0--| A:-------------------------|------------------------| D:/10-------10-------10\5--|5--------5--------5--5--| d:------------------------|------------------------| A:------------------------|------------------------| G:---0--------0-----------|---0--------0-----------| D:------0--------0-----0--|------0--------0-----0--| A:------------------------|------------------------| D:5--------5--------5-----|5--------5--------5-----|G/Cd:-------------------------|------------------------|| A:-------------------------|------------------------|| G:----0--------0-----------|---0--------0-----------|| D:-------0--------0--------|------0--------0-----0--|| A:-------------------------|------------------------|| D:/10-------10-------10\5--|5--------5--------5-----||Thed:-------------------------|------------------------| A:-------------------------|------------------------| G:---0--------0------------|---0--------0-----------| D:------0--------0-----0---|------0--------0-----0--| A:-------------------------|------------------------| D:5--------5--------5------|5--------5--------5-----|night sometimes seems dangerous,I was brought up near the riversideG/Cd:-------------------------|------------------------| A:-------------------------|------------------------| G:----0--------0-----------|---0--------0-----------| D:-------0--------0--------|------0--------0-----0--| A:-------------------------|------------------------| D:/10-------10-------10\5--|5--------5--------5--5--|we wonder what it hides.
