Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
The below tab is the piano intro and continues for all of the song.
The last D could have a bass note if you drop tune the top string but that may complicate the song.
Chord-wise I would play Em C G β (during β if you do 3 beats of β and 1 beat or strum of B or xxx44x it
sounds good. I would not bother with doing the B after the Em that the other versions tell you to do.
