1. This song has to be played with capo on the 2nd fret.
2. Piano chords:
Bass Chord
Asus2 A a - b - (c#)- e
Bmsus4 B b - d - e
Emsus2/7 E g - b - d - f#
3. Guitar chords:
Asus2 Bmsus4
e[0] e[0]
b[0] b[3]
g[2] g[4]
d[2] d[4]
a[0] a[2]
e[0] e[2]
4. The chords below are actually for the acoustic guitar version.
And that's exactly how Grant's playing it live.
5. My suggestion for the piano players is to replace Bmsus4 by Bm7,
Asus2 by A and Em(7) by Emsus2/7.
