WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Adele - When We Were Young Tabs | Version #1
INTRO
Piano arr. for guitar
Cm Eb/G Ab Eb/G Fm7 Eb/G
|-----------|-----------|------|------| Note: Chord versions are using Gm instead of Eb/G.
|-4----4----|-4----4----|-4----|-4----| In the video, at 0:47, you can see the pianist's
|-5----3----|-5----3----|-1----|-3----| finger playing the Eb note, the bass sounds a G,
|-5----5----|-6----5----|-3----|-5----| that's why I conclude it's an Eb inversion, not
|-3---------|-----------|------|------| a Gm chord.
