Some notes before beginning -
Peter may be playing some variations of these chords, particularly in the verses,
but strumming upwards definitely helps reach a sound closer to the original song.
In the instrumental before the first chorus, to best match the notes that Peter is
picking, the chords can be strummed/fingerpicked as follows:
C - x32013
Em - 022003
F - 133213 (Or, if you don't have incredibly flexible hands, 13x213)
G - 320030
