Because this song is played on the piano, the chords aren't necessarily complete. I saw
the other tab for this song and just filled in some holes. The other poster laid 
all the groundwork!
In order to get the same mood and feel out of the song, I simply pick the song, hitting
the root of the chord and supplementing it by hitting the two or three strings below it
on the following beat. Just follow the rhythm of the piano.
