Here's a rough sketch of the left hand of Emily Middleton's transcription, in B flat:
It started out as a feeling
G F
Which then grew into a hope
Bfl A
Which then turned into a quiet thought
G F
Which then turned into a quiet word
F F
And then that word grew louder and louder
D G/
'Til it was a battle cry
Efl/D Efl
I'll come back
F/ Bfl
When you call me
G F
No need to say goodbye
Βfl A
Just because everything's changing
G
Doesn't mean it's never
F
Been this way before
Bfl A
All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
G F
As you head off to the war
F F
Pick a star on the dark horizon
D Efl/
And follow the light
Efl/ D Efl
You'll come back
F/ Bfl
When it's over
G Efl
No need to say good bye
Efl/ D Efl
You'll come back
F/ Bfl
When it's over
G Efl
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
G Efl
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet

But just because they can't feel it too
G Efl
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
F F
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger

'Til they're before your eyes
Efl/ D Efl
You'll come back

When it's over

No need to say good bye

You'll come back

The notes are above the words, at approximately the place where they change in the lyrics. A slash after a note indicates that the note that follows occurs within the same measure, but two of the same note within a single measure may be an octave appart. You'll have to listen to the song for the temporal values, e.g., five notes may be four eighths and a half or two eighths and three quarters, etc. It shouldn't be too tricky, and there's only one note provided for most of the measures. You can use a basso continuo technique to improvise through the rest of the measure once you get comfortable with it, or just play chords or arpeggios. It's a beautiful song, have fun!
