You know, it's been ages since I listened to this but I'm pretty sure the original version on 'Penguin Eggs' is in Bb. That makes the tuning (Bottom to Top) Bb: F: Bb: F: Bb: C.

The tab above seems ok. Try this tuning on a 12-string. Only blue whales will hear you.

I call it 'Pipe Major Leadbelly' tuning.
