Default Peter Mulvey - Whole of the Moon

I've been listening to some old Peter Mulvey cd's and am totally taken by his cover of the Water Boys- Whole of the Moon on his 1995 CD -Rapture. But I cannot figure out what tuning Peter is using. Hoping someone out there can help me out.

Thanks

I'm hazarding a guess here (based on messing around with my Transcribe software and watching a live video):
Bb - F - C - F - F - Bb

If it helps, think of it as D A E A A D, down two whole steps.

It gives you the following chord shapes, among others (I don't know how many of these he uses):
0-0-2-0-0-0 = Bb
5-5-7-5-5-5 = Eb
5-5-7-0-0-0 = Ebadd9
x-0-0-0-4-2 = F
x-0-0-0-0-2 = F5
x-0-3-0-0-2 = F7
x-0-3-0-0-0 = F7sus4
x-0-3-2-0-0 = F9sus4
x-2-2-0-0-0 = Gm7
2-2-3-2-2-2 = Cm
