How to get there from the album's E Standard: Every string up a half step.
Tabbed in F Standard (a half step up); capo 1 in E Standard does the same.
The most-viewed Songsterr tab (both guitars and the bass) is in F Standard, and a fan on ACDCfans.net says the song is a half step up; a less-viewed tab uses E♭ Standard instead. A capo on the first fret in E Standard gives the same pitch as F Standard.
