How do I tune my guitar like this?!


Question: I really want to learn Colbie Caillat's song "Bubbly," but I can't figure out how they want me to tune my guitar. It calls for

e
A (tune this down two half steps)
F# (tune this down 1 half step)
D
A
D (tune this down two half steps)

Do I tune it to e A F# D A D and then tune down either one or two half steps from there, or does that mean that it's supposed to be one or two half steps down from standard tuning? Is there a reason they call it two half steps instead of one step? I use an online guitar tuner, but I it's not programmed for that tuning. Is there another one online that I can use that will be better? Thank you for your help!

A half step on a guitar is one fret, in either direction.
A is two steps down from B, F# is one half step down.
D is standard,
A is standard,
D is two steps down.

A quick and dirty way to do this is tune your guitar up online then do this.

Fret the low E string at the seventh fret and tune it to match the A string.

Fret the fourth D string at the fourth fret and tune down the G string to match.

Fret the B string at the seventh fret and tune to match the high E string.
Done.

Looks like a strange tuning, I don't recognize it.
