I figured a different way to play The Down Town if you're interested in
knowing...in Drop-D tuning half a step down.  Basically the chords are
the following:

G        F#      A      B

0         0        0       0
0         0        0       0
1         2        4       6
2         3        5       7
2         3        5       7
2         3        5       7

Let's just assume that those are the chords...the beginning picks the
first 3 strings going B, G, A twice...then F#, and G.  And the basic
strumming patter after the picking is done is B-A-B-A-B-A-F# before he
starts singing and then when he starts singing, it's
B-A-B-A-F#(hold)-A-(and back to the beginning).
The chorus is very similar...B-A-G, B-A-F#.  Then there is a small
bridge part where he does A-F# a few times.  The way I hold the chords
is I use my ring finger to hold down the first 3 strings and my index
finger to hold down the 4th string.  It's awkward at first, but it gives
it a nice full sound.
