    Notes

    How to get there from the album's E Standard: String 6 down a whole step (E → D); the other strings stay.

    Drop D: only the low string goes down, to D.

    Tabbed in Drop D on Songsterr, guitars and bass. On the 2024 tour the bass for Dilemma was dropped a further half step to C♯, because the band plays live a half step down.
