Tears for Fears classic played on acoustic guitar by Pete Astor (www.peteastor.com) at the Tulsa Guitar Society September 2007 Fingerstyle Showcase concert at Oral Roberts University. Note his subtle use of a looper for added texture. Pete is an attorney and part time guitarist playing at restaurants in the Tulsa area.
Whats the tuning?

You can probably get the tab on ultimate-guitar. Dropped D tuning (DADGBE). Verse is constant Low D under a shift between Dmaj7(A and C#) and G (G and B). chorus or refrain is Eminor, F# minor, G, F#minor, each played for full measure, then same pattern doubled during "Everybody wants to rule the world."
Thanks to all for the wonderful comments. I have a solo version, but I chose to use a pre-recorded loop for this performance to add texture (musicality over skill). Pete
