Well no one seems to be getting the chords on this right, so I might as well try to
fix things. I've studied a bunch of chord theory, so I think this is just about right.

I rate this tab as a novice tab because all of these chords should be fairly
straightforward. The only chords that might be slightly confusing are Fmaj7
and the chords that have a slash between two letters (i.e. Am/G). A major 7
chord is fairly easy to figure out, you basically take a 7 chord and play the
7th up a half step. And the root chords (Am/G) are about as straightforward as
they get. If you're playing guitar, just play the first chord (Am). If you're
playing piano, play some form of the first chord in your right hand and some
form of the second in your left (octaves and fifths work best). And lastly,
if you're playing bass, play the second chord listed (G).
