It’s best to use the chords whenever possible to help the music flow and sound full. Then after a few measures go a little stricter with the rhythm. The first section of this song should be played rubato, or at your own speed, using the vocal line as your guide.
This arrangement is fairly easy to play except for measures 17 thru 20. Play the note on the 5th string with the 1st finger. Now bar the 2cd sting on the tenth fret across strings 2, 3, and 4. At the F chord finger the F on the 1st string with the 4th finger. Be sure to watch the fingering in measure 18. At measure 17 I use a neat fingerstyle technique where I finger some notes up the neck while playing some notes on open strings. I start this arrangement relying on chords until measure 17. This frees your 1st finger to play other notes when needed, like the B on the 5th string, second fret, in measure 18. Bar strings 1, 2, and 3 at the fifth fret using the 4th finger. This is a beautiful song that is played in the first position except for the Am chord in measure 18, 26, 42, and 50. This song works great as a solo guitar piece. In measure 13 bar the first 3 strings in the 5th fret. In measure 11 I bar the Gmaj7 in the seventh fret, the F7 in the 8th fret, and in bar 12 I bar the E7 in the seventh fret and then form an E7 in first position. In measure 7 I bar strings 1, 2, and 3 in the fifth fret. Then I can reach for the next note with my 4th finger and slide it up for the next note. In measure 3 I recommend forming the first two notes with fingers 1 and 2 on the left hand.
