To capture the piano sound, you'll want to use a couple of chord variations during the intro and verses: For the B minor, shift between Bsus4 and Bm: Bsus4 Bm E|--2-------2-----| B|--2-------3-----| - middle finger G|--4-------4-----| D|--4-------4-----| A|--2-------2-----| E|--0-------0-----| For the G, shift between G(#11) and G (or you can play the G variation as 320003 because that G(#11) is a mongrel to get your fingers around!) Gadd#11 G E|--3-------3-----| B|--2-------3-----| - ring finger G|--0-------0-----| D|--0-------0-----| A|--2-------2-----| E|--3-------3-----| For the D, shift between Dsus2 and D: Dsus2 D E|--0-------2-----| - middle finger B|--3-------3-----| G|--2-------2-----| D|--0-------0-----| A|----------------| E|----------------| For the A, shift between Asus2 and A: Asus2 A E|--0-------0-----| B|--0-------2-----| - ring finger G|--2-------2-----| D|--2-------2-----| A|--0-------0-----| E|----------------| The Em in the pre-chorus sounds better with a G on the high E: Em* E|--3----| B|--0----| G|--0----| D|--2----| A|--2----| E|--0----| For the sake of brevity and readability, I've marked the chord variations with just an * anywhere I needed to save space, and a '/' denotes a strum for the previous chord..
