I really like the piano piece in this song, and just wasn't happy playing F and
C (the main 2 chords in the song) on their own. I wanted to learn it note-for-note
but couldn't find it anywhere.
I can't find the sheet music for free, but I found a preview so I wrote what I
could find, and finished the rest myself.
It's not as easy as it would be on the piano because it's not written for the guitar,
but I took the separate treble and bass clef and mixed them together for this.
I had to tune it differently. For example, the low E had to go down to get the
bass note for the C chord to sound right. I tuned the B string up just to try make it
more convenient.
I tried to keep the tuning as close to standard as possible, but I play almost
entirely in alternate tunings so I wasn't afraid to change around, hopefully you won't
be either...

I added this just in case anyone has a second guitarist with them or even a loop
pedal. I'd say this would make it sound great together. This would simply layer
over the main part being played in the song. I wrote it as harmonics to make it
stand out from the other part.
(I tried to add it as regular notes on top of what is above but the notes really
need to be an octave higher to be properly distinguished, and to avoid throwing
off the flow of the song)

And, for the last part, it cannot be played properly because the notes are too
high and go off the fretboard. It wouldn't be very convenient to try moving
some
harmonics up to reach them either so I'll just post a version that has the melody
an octave lower.
