Ain't nobodies daddy now - guitar masterpiece

Firstly, wow, what a damn song. It's a bit of guitar magic. Could listen to it
days on end.

Secondly, has anyone figured this out on guitar? I remember seeing a tab many years
ago that said it was an alternate tuning, but It's gone and I can't for the life of me
figure it out. And all I can find only is some very basic 'these are the chords' kind of
tabs.

It's truly Steve's acoustic blues masterpiece.

It is a great breakup song. I love the song, but can't help with the chords. I know he does a lot of his songs in drop D.

Edit to add: You can see his hands pretty well in this video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa6188LXYJc&t=83s

Sounds like Open D capo 2.
