me too, but i was one of those peope that were never meant to be able top play guitar, so I can't strum many of his songs correctly. i just play them note for note, but my own way i guess.

For us living any other ways was nuts. with all the goodie-goodies working shitty jobs for bum pay checks, took the subway work and worried about their bills were dead. they were suckers, they had no balls. if we wanted something we just took it, and if anybody complained twice they got hit so hard believe me they never complained again

Sometimes he sings "Wise men say only fools rush in" but other times I've heard him sing "Wise man say only fools fall in love".

An open D string and the D on the 5th fret of the A string are the same tone. That is how you can tune a guitar.

No, they're the same pitch. Sometimes the tones are different.
