The recording of this song has many instruments, in particular the strings, adding extra
notes that would be near impossible to play on the guitar. This is a transcription to
make it possible to play on guitar but is by no means a simplified version.
Here are the trickier chords in the song (I?ve tried to include different arrangements
for some of them - some are easier to play, some sound nice as a variation):
