fair play if you can play it like this but putting a capo on 6th and tuning the g donw to f# means you dont have to do that horrible stretch to the 5th fret instead you just make d the bass note rather than g and then open e becomes that 5th fret note instead

The little cello solo is this, in case you're wondering: Capo 1st e|----------------------| B|----------------------| G|--2~-0202020----------| D|-------------0~-2~----| A|-------- --------------| E|----------------------|
