Save it for Later - English Beat - Guitar Chords

How I play the English Beat song Save It for Later with the same open-D tuning (D-A-D-A-A-D) Dave Wakeling used on the record. The fingerings are my best guess. I'll be uploading a video showing how I play this in standard tuning.

i wish the riff part were tabbed out, a little tricky to see around the fingers and hard to mentally picture in the strange open tuning

[vonhasselbach]

Sorry about the camera angle. This was one of my first videos. I've since learned to film at different angle so the fingers are easier to see. Sorry about the lack of tabs. I don't do tabs.

6th string to D6

3rd string to A4

?

[vonhasselbach]

Sorry, but I don't quite understand your question. Are you asking for the specific pitches for each note?

[vonhasselbach]

Yes, he plays upside down. That makes it hard to decipher some of his fingerings. In the YouTube video, he just does the raw chords without the little D(addE) chord that brightens up the record version of the song. And I'm pretty sure he does bar the fifth fret to make a G chord.
