A Long December chords & tabs

Okay everyone, I devised a little scheme to make this song a little
easier to play. This is what you do:

Drop the song a half step without tuning you're guitar different.
The chords of the song, F Bb Gm      C
become the chords       E A  F#m and B

Now put a capo on the first fret and play it in the dropped key.
This eliminates two bar chords and adds one, but makes for a lot less
moving around with bars. Overall it just makes it a little easier on the
wrists. The goes as follows.

Capo 1st fret

Intro: E A F#m A E A F#m

Tuning- A full step down or D Tuning

This riff is played at various parts after certain C chords which I
