19th Nervous Breakdown

Keith Richard uses a 5-string open tuning (eventually with a capo) :
G-D-G-B-D. The low sixtht string is taken off, to have the root G as lowest
string. This allows a mixture of chordal and melodic playing, which
appearently is the case in 19th Nervous Breakdown.

BTW: open tunings are not completely irrelevant for the Tuning List. There
are many examples of open tunings allowing a microtonal composition for
12tet fretted guitar.
