If you listen to the old live recordings of Green Is the Colour, you can’t play along with G-C-Bm-C-Em-D. So either they have tuned down their guitars, or they are playing in a different key. Any ideas? I’ve tried moving it down a step, but I’m not 100% convinced. I find it unlikely that they would have tuned down a step in 1970, but hey, what do I know?

Hi Alex. I just checked three live versions on YT, all in the key of G. Can you link to a version that isn’t and I’ll take a look?
