Hey Brad, the original was on piano, so we have adapted the song on to the guitar.
There is no real big reason why I chose that, other than when I play acoustic guitar, most of the time, I prefer to use open chords whenever I can because I slightly prefer the sound. But that's more of a personal choice, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with playing a G barre chord in that spot.
