instrumentation onto one guitar. It's actually very simple chord-wise for the bulk of the song.
The intro is played on a tack piano. I tabbed it out here and wrote the chord progression without tab below 
it. I just fingerpick it but a pick could also be used. This piano part plays through a lot of the song but 
melody play a G but it sounds nice as written. In that vein, I've included some more chords for inflection 
D9, but I just made it a suspended chord for ease of playing.
No capo
