sounds like my band, we never play it the same way once, not because we are that good either.
work out the bass line first, then chords. most likely a lot of inversions, IE C/G, a C with a G in the bass. this is where a little music theory come s in handy. when i played guitar at church, we had a lot of professional musicians in the band, my music director use to write the tab books you see in stores so i use to have to play a lot of these piano chords, they really sucked, twisted your fingers in knots, but i learned a lot. also had a lot of jazz style chords. when he first showed me E/G# i said ill just play something else, he said no, you gotta learn it, its used a lot. he was right, now it is nothing to play, and on accustic at that.
