I really need this tabs ASAP!! Need to play it live in some weeks and I did found an "acoustic version" but it didn't sound like Acoustic Version's one...also, if any of you have any SYCMIOYO version for piano, like a stave or something piano-friendly it would be awesome!!! thanks in advacne!

For piano, I suggest to play A - Asus with both hands as that gives a very similar sound. You've gotta change bass tones and when you do that, don't play the bass tone with your right hand.

I'm not the one who would play the piano but I'll pass that info to my friend.
