The Cmaj7 in the intro is played by the piano only. 

PLEASE NOTE: 
The slash chords show the notes the bass is playing, and are there
just for interest for those who would like to add a bit more to a
solo accompaniment. For the chords indicated in brackets play them
as single bass notes only.
Hopefully I've made a playable attempt for guitarists to simulate
the rising orchestra cacophony before the bridge and Coda. 
I've shortened the actual length of those bars considerably so as
not to prolong the dischord too much.
