For a few of the chords I've taken a middle path so the chords
sound better as an accompaniment if all you have is one guitar.
Although Cat plays a D chord, he sings a C note, so I've gone
with a D7 it sounds better with the melody and as a transition
from the Am to the G. He plays Cmaj7 with a G bass without
really emphasising it, but the bassist plays a B note.
Cat plays a Dm on guitar, but the piano part suggests a subtler
Dm7 phrase.
