Piano is the dominant instrument in this song, and some of the
chord voicings are not practical on guitar. The following tab
is an adaptation for guitar. The chords during the verses
are single strums that closely follow the intro tab.
The tab is easiest to play if you visualize the full chord shapes
it's based around.
