This is how I play it acoustically as a solo guitar act. I do an arpeggio picking 
of the piano part.The chords in the intro move quickly. Mess around with it and 
you will see it come together.Obviously you cant do all of the layered backups.I 
have written out how I do it. This goes over well as an OMG I REMEMBER THAT SONG 
song. I play it in the 1st set as that is when the older crowd is still there. 
Enjoy.
