I did an old-timey piano part because of the lyrics in that first verse. Just seemed to fit.
The song has meaning to me because it's one of the first songs I ever learned on guitar.
After playing piano for 15 years, I added guitar to have an instrument I could carry. This song was one of the first 3 I taught myself.
Here's the first one. (A bit off topic; sorry.)
