To capture the piano sound, you'll want to use a couple of chord variations during the intro and verses:
For the B minor, shift between Bsus4 and Bm:
E|--Bsus42-------Bm2-----|
B|--2-------3-----| - middle finger
G|--4-------4-----|
D|--4-------4-----|
A|--2-------2-----|
E|--0-------0-----|
For the G, shift between G(#11) and G (or you can play the G variation as 320003 because that G(#11)
is a
mongrel to get your fingers around!)
E|--Gadd#113-------G3-----|
B|--2-------3-----| - ring finger
G|--0-------0-----|
D|--0-------0-----|
A|--2-------2-----|
E|--3-------3-----|
For the D, shift between Dsus2 and D:
E|--Dsus20-------D2-----| - middle finger
B|--3-------3-----|
G|--2-------2-----|
D|--0-------0-----|
A|----------------|
E|----------------|
For the A, shift between Asus2 and A:
E|--Asus20-------A0-----|
B|--0-------2-----| - ring finger
G|--2-------2-----|
D|--2-------2-----|
A|--0-------0-----|
E|----------------|
The Em in the pre-chorus sounds better with a G on the high E:
Em*
E|--3----|
B|--0----|
G|--0----|
D|--2----|
A|--2----|
E|--0----|
For the sake of brevity and readability, I've marked the chord variations with just an * anywhere I
needed to
save space, and a '/' denotes a strum for the previous chord..
