The guitar tuning is:
Db - Ab - Db - F - Ab - Bb
(open Db maj 6)
I'm fairly certain all songs use this tuning (slight exception being that Praise is capo 2).

I tried to get as granular with the extensions as possible cause i'm a fuckin nerd.

amazing work

maybe a silly question cos I can barely play the guitar anyway, but are these mostly bar chords? or are there weird alternative fingerings with the open tuning?

Yeah the major chords will be barred in Noah’s tuning, as it’s an open major 6th chord. The minor and 7th chords are slightly different

Examples (from low string to high):

Gb
5-5-5-5-x-x

Bb m
9-9-9-8-x-x

Ab7
7-7-5-7-x-x

Gb maj 6
5-5-5-5-5-5
