Ballad of Big Nothing - Elliott Smith (either/or)

I think this is the tuning Elliott uses on songs such as 'Independence
day', 'Clementine' and 'Ballad of big nothing')
Tune down one step to DCGF#AD (From low to high) then tune G-String(F#) 
down to E and B-string (A) down to G.
tuning: DGCEGD (From low to high)
