Obviously this song is piano-led in Tom's version, but strumming chords on the guitar makes the song sound
decent. If you want to give the song a more chill vibe, finger picking also works, especially alternating
between the thumb on the primary bass note with the first and second fingers at the same time on the upper
strings. I will tab what strings I play by putting the string number next to the chord like this:
CHORD (Thumb, Index Middle)
The recorded song is in B, but I will provide chords in the key of G, which means
Capo 4.
Am: (5,43)
012200
Am/G: (6,43) (This is the only chord I am uncertain about, but it sounds pretty close...)
010203
C: (5,32)
010233
Em: (5,32)
000220
G: (6,43)
330023
C2: (5,43)
33023x
Em2: (5,43)
330220
D2: (6,43)

Keep me here, my heart is near, my love has gone away.
