Drinking With You on piano?

edited October 2012 in JoCo Tabs
I've been trying to work out 'Drinking With You' on the piano, but I'm still a beginner and all I've really managed to do is exasperate myself. Can anyone help me out? My boyfriend listens to JoCo non-stop and was obsessed with this song when we first started dating, so I want to be able to play it for him.

    While this isn't for piano, if you understand tab, this could help:

    I'll add my voice to @Sycamorian's request and also beg that whoever helps us out does so in the form of a video-tutorial, as I can't read sheet music... :S

    Ooh, I'd also love a video tutorial of this. (ETA: If it's the kind of thing even a poor piano player can play with one hand.)
  • "Drinking With You" is not an ideal song for piano because it has a very "fingerpicked guitar" feel to it. Could be done on uke, though.
  • It sounds really nice on the uke too. Used to be one of my favorites to play.
  • Today With Your Wife would be good to have some piano-instruction for, though...
  • ^ Today With Your Wife would be amazing to have some piano instruction for. I'm going to hold out hope on help for Drinking With You, though, as I don't have a guitar or uke to speak of - but thanks, everyone, for your input! I appreciate it.
  • I've done Today With Your Wife on piano. Not very hard. Listen to the video with the harpist for a nice, clear rendition of the chords.
  • Any particular variations on the chords that you took note of, or is it just vanilla chords with some flourishes?

    The chords and bass line on "Today With Your Wife" are crafted just so, so I did few chord mods on it. Watch for the "demolished" chord at the end of the fourth bar.
