Now if playing with a keyboard substitute the guitar chords for these chords
instead.

Em=     Gm
Cmaj7=  Ebmaj7
Em/G=   Gm/Eb
C=      Eb

To show you how to play these chords on the keyboard i will break the keys
up into 3 sections.

    section1              section2             section3
CC#DEbEFF#GAbABbB     CC#DEbEFF#GAbABbB    CC#DEbEFF#GAbABbBC
                                           *-middle C

i.e so A2 would mean hit the A key in section 2

Here's how the chords are played

Gm-     (G1 + Bb1 + D2 + G2)
Ebmaj7-  (Eb2 + G2 + Bb2 + D3)
Gm/Eb-     (G2 + Bb2 + D3 + Bb3)
Eb-       (Eb2 + G2 + Bb2 + G3)

That's about it. The song sounds really good when I play it on the acoustic 
guitar, but I can only really play up until the end of the 2nd chorus and 
then the song sort of ends, usually I just make something up that sounds 
very good for an outro.
