Nearly perfect! Those slash chords at the choruses are crucial, and you got them. These are good chords for piano, too!

Superb tab,well done

I still find this a great tab: so close to the original. Excellent job.
Other super tabs are Playground love (Air), I'm still standing (Elton John), Bridge over troubled water (Simon & Garfunkel) and obviously To France (Mike Oldfield), which is probably the best in my opinion.
