It really depends on what you think works best.

Oh yeah, I know that isn't how the studio version goes. I spent ages listening to it with "Transcribe!" because I'm a bit of a stickler about figuring out exactly what's being played, but I just find it fast/easier than having to shift the whole way up the neck when playing it, especially during the chorus. I tend to play it in Open G most of the time since that's what my guitar is in most of the time and it's still within my vocal range to sing, so I don't have to retune up or down 1/2 a step each time I want to play it.
