How do you find the tuning of a song?

Generally speaking, you can take the lowest note found in the song, and if it's lower than an open E, tune your E down and the rest by the same amount. So if the lowest note is a C, you can tune down to C standard. You can usually use most tunings with C as the lowest note and be able to play the song.

What is the order of tuning?

Standard tuning defines the string pitches as E, A, D, G, B, and E, from the lowest pitch (low E₂) to the highest pitch (high E₄). Standard tuning is used by most guitarists, and frequently used tunings can be understood as variations on standard tuning.
