This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have included some of them in this transcription. Please feel free to experiment with your own chord voicings. For the F#/A#, you may opt to play a standard F# barre chord and omit the A# in the root, or bass position. The chord voicing provided at the top of the page may sound a bit thin for some.
