Piano Transcribed for Guitar
This is a pretty spare piano arrangement relying mostly on the vocals for
it's power. Because of this, with only a few exceptions, it goes into
guitar cleanly, though you might want to experiment with different chord
arrangements or hammerons in some of the fuller chords if the wrong note
seems dominant. I've just put it in Standard Tuning, which, while
requiring a lot of fast position changes unavoidable in piano to guitar
crosses, has no big stretches or really awkward positions. The spacing of
the tab is intended to line up with the lyrics and not to reflect any
particular rhythm or expression. If anyone wants to play around and find
an alternate tuning that makes things simpler, let me know what you find.
I'm still tinkering with this, comments and corrections welcome.
I'll get out a simplified chord chart as soon as I can
