Here are a couple of ways to emulate the piano on guitar:
(note the * signifies the note you should accent in the chord)

You could get fancy and play it like this
F        Am        Bb     C
---------12*-------6-6\---15*13*12*-|
10-10\---13-15*13*-6-6\---13-13-13--|
10-10\---14-14-14--7-7\---12-12-12--|
10-10\-------------8-8\-------------|
8--8\--------------8-8\-------------|
-------------------6-6\-------------|

Or less fancy (an octave lower than the piano)

F        Am        Bb     C
---------0*--------6-6\---3*-1*-0*--|
10-10\---1-3*1*----6-6\---1--1--1---|
10-10\---2-2-2-----7-7\---0--0--0---|
10-10\---2-2-2-----8-8\---2--2--2---|
8--8\----0-0-0-----8-8\---3--3--3---|
-------------------6-6\-------------|

If you’re fiddling with this, you can probably figure out
how to play the variations with chords.
