Nope, no capo, not tuned down (not a dream, not an imaginary story). Check youtube, he's playing on the fourth fret at the start, that's a C# first inversion.

indeed- I could've sworn I'd see him play it with a capo somewhere, chorded it as such, and since haven't found any such version...so yeah, I should probably change it!

It sounds pretty right to, even though its not the way he plays it. :P
