This beautiful song basically follows one chord pattern (mAdd9) with different
root notes for most of its duration. (Lyric timing is suggestive and does not align exactly)
Amadeo's first verse doesn't have guitar, but it follows the same progression as the second verse,
so you can play that if desired:
'/' = slide
