(Em7 = 022030)
(Am = x02210)
(C = x32010)
(B = x24442)
(Em = 022000)

A dash (-) means play the current chord again, and I've tried to place the dashes on the 
beat where they belong.

End on Em

*************
Chorded while listening to the track over and over, so I got it as close as I could 
without individually tabbing out all the piano riffs.

There may be errors, but I was unhappy with the current selection of chords for this 
song, so I set out to chord it myself, for an acoustic guitar.

Please send me a message if you have corrections or even if you just want to say you 
liked or hated it. Or even if you were ambivalent to it! I love hearing from you guys.
