The way I read it is by standard tuning. That gives me open low E, 5th string fourth fret (C#/D flat), and 5th string 5th fret (D).

What am I missing?
The example you gave (E,A & B) is the 1st, 4th, & 5th of the scale of E major as they appear in STANDARD tuning.

I've no idea what you mean about the E, C# and D, though.
