Hi Tom,
   You are not alone in your frustration with tuning. The best of the best pretty much ALL use tuners. Not neccesarily because they can't properly tune their guitar but instead to make sure that those playing together are accurate with each other. I prefer digital tuners, something similar to this;

Sweet guitar Jeff! Here's some composite guitar testamonials from some actual owners of these dandy jewels of musical tool. I wish they wern't so danged expensive! A composite guitar is perfect for those who play in extreme climates that have adverse effects on wood.( shrinkage & expansion)

West Coaster here- 25 miles west of Tampa, 1/2 mile from the Gulf of Mexico.

mmmm... My physical existance depends on this huh?...... I'll have to go with the following;

Tempted by Squeeze
What's Goin' On by Marvin Gaye
Please Don't Bury Me by John Prine

...and I'd do a little loop thingy at the end of my last song in an attempt to musically hypnotize ole Dr. Evil. If successful I'd take his laser away from him and promptly destroy it. Then I'd give him a big, warm, hug and welcome him into my world of peace and love..............................

Thanks for that link KAP54! Once in a while the true human spirit rises above everything. This is crystalized deeply in Justins' life philosophy. His story makes me want to become a better person. I am deeply moved from this man's story.

The D5 is a shotened version of a D . The 5th variations  are often called power chords. The D7 will work in some spots but not all. You'd probably be better off playing the regular D in this particular tune.
         Actually I just played through the song and both the D and the D7 work nicely. Maybe alternate D one time and D7 the next............Great song, have fun!

Metal historian Ian Christe describes what the components of the term mean in "hippiespeak": "heavy" is roughly synonymous with "potent" or "profound," and "metal" designates a certain type of mood, grinding and weighted as with metal. The word "heavy" in this sense was a basic element of beatnik and later countercultural slang, and references to "heavy music"—typically slower, more amplified variations of standard pop fare—were already common by the mid-1960s. Iron Butterfly's debut album, released in early 1968, was titled Heavy. The first recorded use of heavy metal is a reference to a motorcycle in the Steppenwolf song "Born to Be Wild," also released that year :"I like smoke and lightning/Heavy metal thunder/Racin' with the wind/And the feelin' that I'm under." A late, and disputed, claim about the source of the term was made by "Chas" Chandler, former manager of the Jimi Hendrix Experience. In a 1995 interview on the PBS program Rock and Roll, he asserted that heavy metal "was a term originated in a New York Times article reviewing a Jimi Hendrix performance," in which the author likened the event to "listening to heavy metal falling from the sky." A source for Chandler's claim has never been found.

In addition to this, metal is responsible to the CORNA, or devil horns, This is the hand gesture(palms out, thumb, pointer, and pinky fingers extended, middle and ring fingers in palm) popularized by the greatest singer in the universe, Ronnie James Dio. But of course the universes biggest egomaniac, Gene Simmons of Kiss, claims to be the first to make the gesture in concert.

So there you go Doc. Steppenwolf  and Iron Butterfly has to be given serious consideration to be included among the godfathers of metal.
