I recommend playing this song in Eb Standard tuning, in the key of D!  These chords are 
in original key.

(F#/F is simply dropping the root of the chord one half step to serve as a step down to 
the G#7.  The same is true of the G#/C, which is easiest done by dropping the root a 
single half step.)

Intro: Bbm  F#  C#  Ab (x2)
