This is a very simple version of "Your Song" for guitar (not piano). I sometimes give this transcription to my students so they can work on arpeggiation and finger-picking (this song sounds very pretty when done this way). The chord progression [B]-[Bm/A]-[Bm/Ab]-[G] is just a simple walking-bass note progression. Since this transcription is NOT in the original KEY (Eb), feel free to use a capo to change the key to suit your voice (I transcribed this a 1/2 step lower to suit my voice). Capo on the 1st fret puts it in the original key.
