I came up with the tuning for playing chords. The range is somewhat limited for melodic purposes, but the ability to use all three chord inversions can be helpful when trying to combine a melody with chords under it. The first part of "All through the night" sounds really nice with this tuning. When the melody goes up high, it's necessary to either go rather high up the fretboard or drop it down an octave and, for parts, only play 3 strings.

@luserdroog: I guess my philosophy has been that I have no aspiration of becoming a great guitarist, but I like being able to sing songs with my wife and play chords along with them. Being able to go from being a total zero on the guitar to being able to play Mermaid Song and Amazed in less than 48 hours, seems pretty, well, "amazing". BTW, do you know either tune?
