Piano, guitar and lead vocal arranged freely for just one guitar
in fingerpicking/classical guitar style, transposed down by three halfsteps.

Beware of the changing position of those xx203x chords, you may
easily turn this part into 7/8! You can play xx243x instead of xx203x.

It's not a note-by-note transription, half of it is just "bluff".
You can modify/simplify the picking pattern here and there to fit your style better.
