I play it with capo 3 instead, which have the following chord translations:
Eb = C
Cm = Am
Ab = F
Bb = G
This also allows me to do the picking instead if I want it to sound like the original
instead of just chords. Using open chords on capo 3, I just pick A and D strings back and
forth for the C and the Am and the E and A strings for the F (barred) and G.
Something like this:
D|---5---5---5---5---5--|
A|-6---6---6---6---6----|
E|----------------------| ...continue until chord change
D|---5---5---5---5---5--|
A|-3---3---3---3---3----|
E|----------------------| ...continue
D|----------------------|
A|---6---6---6---6---6--|
E|-4---4---4---4---4----| ...continue
D|----------------------|
E|---5---5---5---5---5--|
E|-6---6---6---6---6----| ...continue
I did this fast, so please let me know if I typed it up wrong. And sorry for the lack
of apostrophes--UG does not like them.

Eb
I wish I could play the violin
Cm
Id play til tears rolled down your cheek and chin
Ab
And if you sang along
Bb Eb
We could write the saddest song

Sometimes I indulge my every whim
Cm
And piece-by-piece I build the cell Im in

But I only stay here long
Bb Eb
enough to write the saddest song

Cm Eb
I dreamt I stood on a hill that I wished was a mountain

To look back on all my accomplishments

Well they must have been small because I couldnt seem to find them

so I took a leap off of the precipice

I wish I could play piano well

Id hit the keys that make your spirit swell

We could write the saddest song

Whatever the cost
Whether it works out or not

Whatever the cost
Whether it works out or not

Ill follow you

Ill follow you with my heart
