Drop C for The Mother, The Earth, And I. I can hear low C power chords, and the fingerstyle and bendy riffs pedal off of an open G.

Sounds like you're spot on. The tuning is Drop C but we're in the key of G Minor for the majority of the song with bouncing of off the open G string.

Any thoughts on The End Will Show Us How? Given the intro, Im guessing its an open tuning.

Initial guesses for the new Tremonti record:

The Mother, The Earth, and I - C G C F A D
One More Time - C G C F A D
Just Too Much - B F# B E G# C#
Nails - C F A# D# G C
It's Not Over - A D G C E A
The End Will Show Us How - D G D G A# D
Tomorrow We Will Fail - D A D G B E
I'll Take My Chances - A G C F A D
The Bottom - A E A D F# B
Live In Fear - A G C F A D
Now That I've Made It - A E A D F# B (Mark), E A D G B E (Eric)
All The Wicked Things - D A D G B E *Pitch Shift to A E A D F# B During Bridge and Outro

One of them might be in Drop C# for The Bottom or there could possibly be some pitch shifting going on.

Lot's of A tunings which is interesting since Mark has never used any before this record.

All the Wicked things could be AADGBE as well. I havent really listened enough, but that could be the alternative to him using pitch shifting. I’d need to pick up a guitar to figure it out to truly know.

Mark stated in an interview with Nik Nocturnal that All The Wicked Things is pitch shifted to Drop A for certain parts of the song.

I would say Nails is in CGCFAD as he needs that high open C string for the verse drone.

Yes, but I hear a high G and C in some riffs, so could it be CGCFGC (a.k.a. DADGAD down a full step)?

Where do you hear those? This tab is pretty spot on except for the solo.

I thought that I was hearing it during the verses, but it actually is a C an octave lower, just like the tab shows, so you are right.
