Tuning: Standard E (capo 4th fret!)
The key is transposed to D to make it as playable as possible on the guitar. Transpose the song
to F# if you want the actual key!
The keyboard intro is just the keyboard player playing some notes over a root note of F# (or D
in this setting), so I skipped that for this guitar tab.
