Definetely my own interpretation. Did not really work from Sarah's piano arrangement.
Which is awesome.But, apples and oranges. Thought the piece needed a bit more harmonic
color when played on guitar. Hope Sarah doesn't mind. "Added Bridge" is my own invention.
Disregard if you wish. Pretty though and provides a nice bridge from chorus 1 to verse 2.
Melody is stepwise except for 3rd down from Gto E at the end.

i dont have much experience with the guitar so may be this song was too hard for me to attempt just yet, however i found that none of the chords sounded anything like the sound of sarahs piano, maybe this song should stay on the piano i dont know, try it an see, like i say maybe its just me, if anyone can help me please do.
kev
no, youre right, most of them are wrong
