I found that this way was easiest to play, but does sound quite bassy when
played with the CD. This is another way to play it which sounds more like
the piano you hear. Requires fast finger changes and one big stretch.

I'm afraid i can't figure out the lead line going on in the second chorus.
Although, just doing bends on the 9th fret, G string does sound good if you
get it right. Just working with the E minor scale will work.
