Bon Iver Perth Lyrics

Bon Iver, "Perth"
I know that Justin Vernon tweeted this on June 1, 2011:
blobtower Justin D.E. Vernon
EBD#F#BE im pretty sure "@jackmilas: @blobtower what tuning is Perth in? :)"
1 Jun
And I realize that this is a very authoritative source. However, I personally
cannot figure out how to get Perth's guitar part out of this tuning, no matter
where I put a capo (it can be done though, jameseades posted a tab of Perth
using this tuning - I think that the recording sounds different from this
though, more relaxed).
This tuning and this guitar part sound to me like what's being played on the
recording.
Tuning (open D9): Capo fifth fret:

It's possible that Justin Vernon meant to say this in his tweet (he suggests
that he's not totally sure that EBD#F#BE is the right tuning):
Tuning (open E9): Capo third fret:
bd
But I think open D9 will result in fewer broken strings.
Fingerings are relative to capo. Let almost all notes ring.
