Arranging a tune written and performed on the piano is not always easy. Sometimes near impossible. 
Unfortunately, I like Elton John and Billy Joel and Leon Russell...
Now Elton John is no problem, many people post their guitar arrangements of his piano tunes on tab sites. Billy Joel also, not quite as many but enough for one to get a head start.
Leon Russell, wow so few tabs. The tune I've been working on has only 2. and one is
"easy guitar". I was shocked to find no acoustic guitar covers for it on Youtube and only a very few piano covers.
I've been struggling to get the sense of the song onto guitar and into my head. To bring it down to bare melody and feeling. I've also been struggling not to tear up while singing it
There have been too many bad outcomes, too many deaths in my life, too many women I cared about that this song makes me think about. The other day I started writing a post about friends and lovers who have died. But..it hurt too much. This is a problem with us old folks, we remember too many losses.
Sorry for the rambling, I might delete this post as well, I've been remembering too much.
On a bright note. after working on it on and off for weeks on Siggy, I decided yesterday this is an Amber song and now I can see where I'm going.

it)and it almost made her cry- she's older than we are, nearly 80- anyway, my point is, necessity is a mother of invention- and a necessity is sometimes formed from grief- a need to grieve out loud, in your own way- play/sing on brother! It's great therapy- as is writing, which to me includes re-arranging- it's an outlet you can't get anywhere else-
