Capo on three - song is played by an electric piano but sounds alright on acoustic. 
The verse goes a bit weird for part of it, but it's mostly fairly simple.
This is the single version - it's synced with the music video version, not the version found on the album
Found this again after the phoenix that is Hannah Kirby did it on The Voice recently - she's amazing!
Parts in brackets are backing vocals
Introduction - no chords just percussion
