This is in an alternate tuning which I created to fit the song, I am not actually sure what the tuning is because I did it by ear. 

I believe it is in the same key as the original track


Swedish House Mafia - Dont You Worry Child (Acoustic Instrumental Idea)

Kadia are a folk trio from Dorset, performing a lively mix of old English ballads, traditional fiddle repertoire, contemporary folk songs and covers with a twist. Combining fingerstyle guitar, cello and mandolin, the core sound is augmented by ukulele, flute and meticulously devised three part harmony. 

Chris – Fingerstyle and Rhythm Guitars/Vocals/Melodeon
With a remarkable ability to reinterpret harmony and melody and express these interwoven strands through impressive fingerstyle arrangements, Chris is the driving force behind Kadia's musical style. His raw and expressive vocal style lends itself well to sharing dramatic narratives that underpin so much great traditional material.

Lee – Cello/Vocals/Flute
Lee is a classically trained singer and cellist who built on his self-taught skills as he studied music and composition. A love of history has combined with music to lead him down the path of traditional music. 

David – Mandolin/Vocals/Ukulele/Percussion
David wields vibrant treble instruments with incredible skill and dexterity, drawing on multiple influences from Jazz to Bluegrass when improvising and composing. He blends this with driving percussion and adds his distinct tenor to the harmonies whilst leading a number of well loved shanties.
