Slowhand, I don't know the song, but as for the tuning....

If tuning down to D, tune each string down a full semitone from standard tuning, ie instead of tuning to the normal EADGBE, tune the strings to DGCFAD. If tuning down to Db, tune each string down a further semitone to Db Gb B E Ab Db. You may find in such a low tuning as the Db you may need thicker strings than you're used to - if you use 9's or 10's, you may need at least 11's.

:D :D :D

I used to play some SOD songs, and they usually all had the same tuning. First, you tune all strings down one whole step. So instead of EADGBE (low to high strings), now your tuning will be DGCFAD. Now you need to tune your bass E string only down an additional whole step to C. So now your tuning will be CGCFAD. This is a very typical down tuning.
