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):
