John Hurt had a great sense of timing.
Have a listen to this:

If you want to play along with it, you'll have to tune down a semitone, more or less. I've been fingerpicking for close to 50 years, but I'm finding it tricky on that slide up to the D chord (Db on recording) from the A (Ab)chord to play the first high A (Ab) note in that chord in the right place. You get used to doing things in a certain way, and trying to change them can be difficult.
Do you think that (aside from the half-tone shift) this is played in
standard tuning?
After a quick listen, I'd be inclined to slap a capo on the first fret
(second if you want it to be truly in A rather than A flat) and use open
G/G7 and C chords for that transition. But then I wouldn't get the low E
(Eb) note in the E chord because I'd be using the D7 form for that.

Good point, It could be played on G chords with a slide up to 5th fret C, but I'm more inclined to think it is standard tuning D to get that low E note.
AFAIK, John Hurt used open D and standard tuning.
