When played on keys, one may 
actually note that the Cm's during 
the verses
are played alternating with the Ab 
chord continuously. For clarity the 
Ab
strums in the verses where omitted, 
but you can of experiment to find 
some
way to play the song true to its 
character, although full chord strum
 seem
out of the question.
