When We Were Young  Adele

INTRO
Piano arr. for guitar
[Cm] [Eb/G] [Ab] [Eb/G] [Fm7] [Eb/G]  
 
 |-----------|-----------|------|------| Note: Chord versions are using Gm instead of Eb/G.
 |-4----4----|-4----4----|-4----|-4----| In the video, at 0:47, you can see the pianist's
 |-5----3----|-5----3----|-1----|-3----| finger playing the Eb note, the bass sounds a G,
 |-5----5----|-6----5----|-3----|-5----| that's why I conclude it's an Eb inversion, not
 |-3---------|-----------|------|------| a Gm chord.
