Practical Arrangement by Sting from The Last Ship album

Basically, this is a jazzy piano piece. This one is tough to play on the guitar, so I
tried to cover the full harmony and provide some possible voicings for you. But sorry in
advance if it's too complex, it's just what it is. You can try to simplify the chords by
playing first part of it (e.g. Gmaj9 —> Gmaj7, Gmaj7b5 —> Gmaj7), but the song will lose
its charm a little bit in this case. Enjoy and good luck!
