This is a piano song, you can barely hear the guitar in this song.
So I apologise if the guitar "riffs" don't sound
exactly like the song, because they are piano parts actually.

Piano Solo tabbed for guitar (may not be 100% correct but is very close):
Am7 A Am7 A
e----|-5-5-5------------|----------|----|-5-5-5------------ (play notes softly, and let them ring!)
B--1-|-------5-3-5-3-2--|----------|-1--|-------5--3-5-3-2-
G-0--|----------------2-|--2-0-----|--0-|-----------------2
D----|------------------|--------2-|----|------------------
That's pretty much it.
Enjoy!
