Default Help with identifying tuning to "Shadow of Doubt," Bonnie Raitt's cover

Hello everyone,

I realize this is a long-shot, but thought I'd give it a go just in case someone knows the answer or can figure it out! I'm re-learning guitar after a long hiatus, and a song that I would love to learn is Bonnie Raitt's cover of "Shadow of Doubt." Unfortunately, I cannot find any video performances by her or tabs for her version of it. There's clearly some slide work, but most of the chords sound finger-fretted to me, so I'm not completely convinced that it's an open tuning.

I would love to know others' thoughts! Thank you for weighing in,

Take a look at this,I did a search for "Shadow of Doubt Gary Nicholson (who wrote it) Looks like an open tuning. Nice tune, I though I was pretty familiar with Bonnie's stuff,I missed that one.

Thanks for posting! I’ve seen Tinsley play that live and it was still beautiful, though I think the tuning is different—he doesn’t capture the chord changes as precisely.

Listened to a bit. Might try standard 4th fret capo.
