I have given the full piano chords for the instrumental sections but if playing along with a bass player
or in a band setting then you could ignore the inversions used and play the plain chords.
There are several key, tempo and time sig changes - I have notated the time signature changes in the
instrumental sections to hopefully make those easier to follow.
