Guitar & Piano Playing Tips
With Capo 7, even beginners can play this song using familiar open chord shapes. The Em–C vamp in the verse creates a sophisticated, brooding atmosphere. Practice the G–C chorus switch until it's smooth and effortless. On piano, use sustained chord pads in the left hand while the right hand plays the synth melody — this captures the atmospheric sound of the 1989 production.
