Please Note:
The chords with bass notes Dm7/G, F/G, G/F, Ab/Bb can all be played without the bass notes, but it does add a nice touch. Some of them require a bit of a stretch for smaller hands but give them a go and see what you think. Go over all the chord charts and familiarize yourself with them before playing the song so that you don't have to keep stopping and starting when you reach an unfamiliar chord.

Because the song is played at 450Hz, it doesn't sound quite right when playing along with the video. Most guitar tuners have the ability to choose + or - 50Hz either side of normal tuning of 440Hz. In this case, set the tuner to +50 Hz to the right of center (440Hz), and tune each string accordingly. If you are tuning bottom 'E', the tuning arrow needs to reach +50 on the tuner. The same applies to each string.

This song is beautifully presented and well worth the extra effort required to master it.
