Here's a short little rendition of the song. Yes, I do start playing much faster than the original but I couldn't help it :] I don't know if I'm playing it all correctly... I taught myself this about a year ago and decided to try it while recording other things and thought it turned out okay.
Excellent rendition! The melody has such a haunting, ethereal quality. I've been wanting to learning this for a long time, so I've sat here for an hour trying to hear the left hand chords ... here's what I've got so far. Maybe someone with a better ear can verify ...
Left hand:
D-F#-A x 4
C#-F#-A x 4
(opening melody, repeat twice)
B-E-G x 4
D-G-Bb x 2
C#-G-A x2
Repeat

And the central melody for right hand:
D-F#-A-C#
(left hand chord changes on C#)
B-A-G-F# ... E
(left hand chords change on B, F# then E)
This is just the opening. Hope it helps someone.
