I tried to make this so it's relatively close to the original piano backing.
It's not perfect but I think it sounds pretty cool.
Standard Tuning
Capo 1st fret

And hear every story of what you've learned

(don't hit A-string - it sounds weird going into the next chord)
Oh, and:
The A chords are not quite right.
You'd want that friction of the pretty high 3 and 4 lying
directly on top of eachother. But then there's this 'melody' from 3 to 4.
The lowest notes of the piano (not the synth bass) go 3-1-5. You need that 5th for it
to not sound wishy washy. ... . I found this impossible to realize on guitar.
These are my thoughts and this is my best approximation.
So feel free to edit this if you come up with something better!
