So this song is great and thankfully it's just got of couple of chords going on the piano for the
most part.
The main chord progression is:
||Dmaj7 |Gmaj |Gmin |Dmaj7 ||
There's a little Gdim thrown in on the switch from Gmin to Dmaj7.
So how to play this on guitar rather than piano. It's impossible surely, you haven't got four hands
have you? Well just call the left hand part the rhythm part and the right the lead.
Left Hand/Rhythm

G||7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--|7--7--7--7--7--7--6--6--|7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-||

E||----------------|------------------------|------------------------|----------------||
||Dmaj7 |Gmaj |Gmin | | Dmaj7 ||
(1st inversion) | |
NB: The major 7th \ /
is played in \ /
the right hand |
part Note: This is the diminished G
chord that I mentioned.
Sounds terrible on its own
but in context it sounds
lovely. Music's mad ey.
Right Hand
E||--------------------14|----15-14-------17-15-|14------14-------|----------------||
B||14---15-14----15-17---|----------------------|-----15----------|14------------15||
G||----------------------|----------------------|-----------------|----------------||

The rhythm's obviously not perfect and it falls a bit funny against the chords but I'm sure you'll
figure it out. I have faith in you.
