Tuning: E A D G B E
Built with the help of Jay Rob and his piano tutorial:

I dissected what the piano plays, transformed that into guitar chords and filled the progression up this way.
So with this version you're able to back the whole song with one single instrument. (However, this isn't just
the "complicated" piano version now.)
[Chords]
Just suggestions; most of them are "standard jazz chords", play them the way you're used to.
Chords used in the intro:
Dm7 x 5 7 5 6 5 Asus2 x x 7 9 10 7
A7sus2 x x 7 9 8 7 Gm7 3 5 3 3 3 3
A/C# x 4 7 6 5 x Gm9 3 5 3 3 3 5
Fmaj7 x 8 10 9 10 8 F7 x 8 10 8 10 8
Bmaj7 6 x 7 7 6 x A7 5 7 5 6 5 5
Ebmaj7 x 6 8 7 8 6 G7 3 5 3 4 3 3
Further chords used afterwards:
Am7 5 7 5 5 5 5 Am9 5 7 5 5 5 7
Abm9 4 6 4 4 4 6 Gbm7 2 4 2 2 2 2
Bm7 7 9 7 7 7 7 D x 5 7 7 7 5
Some of these are in fact only played by piano: A7sus2, Gm9 (in the intro), F7. The D chord is only used as
a synth sound once.
