Keys player tells me it's "G#m, with E as the first chord". Is that right, please?

I'd say G#m.

Sheet music here: [url="http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/Product.aspx?ID_No=110677"]http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/Product.aspx?ID_No=110677[/url]

Opening chord is given as Emaj7 which is same notes as G#m6 with an E in the bass (like a G#m/E).

And where your tab says Abm it should say G#m.

... and the melody in the opening bar goes G# G# B G# B D# (i.e. G#m triad) while the bass holds an E note underneath.

Thank you. Holding the E in the 1st bar and then playing the G#m triad in the 2nd bar (as a sort of echo of the vocals) sounds good.
