Saw the chorded version of this & made it better & took away the capo for those of 
you who haven't gotten around to buying one yet.
& I know it's supposed to be played in Drop Db & all that, but this is to make 
things a bit easier for people.
Now, I'd play this in all 5th chords [or lazy barre chords] because it sounds better that way.

Intro.

Bbm (x13321@1)e|-1--1---1
B|-2------2
G|-3----1-3
D|-3------3          
A|-1------1
E|-x------x

F#E|-2-2---1 (244322@1)B|-2-----2
G|-3--1--3
D|-4-----3
A|-4-----1
E|-2-----x

Repeat this pattern for the first verse to mimick the piano sound, improvise 
around the picked notes, see what you like to play.

Verse 1:
Bbm (x13321@1)                                
Took a bite out of a mountain range,
F#thought (244322@1)my teeth'd break, the mountain did.
Bbm (x13321@1)                   
Let's go, I want to go, 
F#all (244322@1)the way to the horizon.

F#5 (244xxx@1)                                 C#5I'm (x133xx@4)treading water there before I drown.
Bb5 (x133xx@1)                    F5Let's (133xxx@1)dive, I wanna dive,
F#5 (244xxx@1)                      C#5To (x133xx@4)the bottom of the ocean.

Ab5I (133xxx@4)took a ride, I took a ride,
           Bb5 (x133xx@1)                C#5I (x133xx@4)wouldn't go there without you.
Ab5Let's (133xxx@4)take a ride, we'll take a ride,

Verse 2: [Same as First Verse]

I wrote a note to the jungle and
They wrote me back that I was never crowned,
King of the jungle so,
There's an end to my horizon.

I took a ride, I took a ride,
I wouldn't go there without you.
Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride,
I wouldn't leave here without you.
