Beginner Guitarists:
The song has been given Intermediate status due to the inclusion of extended chords and barre chords.
Some of the chords may seem out of reach, but they are all very easy to play. If you want to play the song, here are some easier voicings for the chords that are typically played as barre chords.
Fm7, F#m7: The transition from F#m7 to Fm7 is super easy: same shape, different frets (fret 2 to fret 1).
F#7 is also very easy: pretend you are playing Fmaj7 except starting on the 2nd fret
Bm7: Played exactly the same as B7 without the 1st finger.

Chord Charts: Be sure to view all chord charts near the top of the page before playing, so you're familiar with each chord and comfortable transitioning smoothly between them.
G6/9: is a Major 6 chord with an added 9th - a smooth and mellow chord often used in jazz styles.
Formula: 1-3-5-6-9
Notes: G (root), B (major 3rd), D (5th), E (6th), A (9th)
G → G6/9: The easiest way to transition from G to G6/9, is to play the G chord using fingers 2,3, and 4 (instead of 1, 2, & 3). When you play G6/9, you simply take your pinkie off the 1st string, and add your index finger to the 3rd string (A-note).
Dmaj7: Another very easy chord to play. You can replace it with D Major if you prefer.
🎸 If you haven't learned to play barre chords, and you find chords like Fm7 and F#m7 easy to play, you are 'more than ready' to start learning them. You'll be amazed at the variety of chords at your fingertips, without having to worry about all those pesky sharp and flat chords. 💪🎶
