Neil- The tab nomenclature shows this song in double drop D tuning but I think the tab is actually in standard tuning. I was trying to play the song in double drop D and it sounded awful. I kept checking my tuner to make sure I in tune. When I tuned back to standard it sounded fine!

Sorry for the confusion. The guitar was not in Double Dropped D. All 6 strings were tuned down 1 whole step D G C F A D. Neil Young does this commonly for a couple of reasons- sing in a lower key, as well as a richer, deeper sound on the acoustic guitar.
