i am not a piano player, and this song was written by a very skilled (and crafty) one. chord names might not be proper (a/f or F/a) but i use the key above to notate what goes where.
to get the sound of a piano, bass, and guitar out, i had to do some funky chords, as the split the parts accordingly. please, if your hand begins to hurt(as mine did), something else to alleviate your (and previously my)cramping hand. my hand eventually used to these chords, and it didnt' hurt to play.
it might not exactly be correct to the album, but it's close enough for fun.
