Chords for "Fallin" by Alicia Keys | HDpiano (Billie Eilish #comment)

[F] Hey everyone, welcome [Eb] back to HD piano.
[F] This is Phil, and today we've got a request from one of
our subscribers, Allison, for an Alicia Keys song.
So Allison, [Db] I'm going to teach you how to play
[Cm] Falling.
And [B] that piano riff goes a little something like this, [Em] _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [B] _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ and so [Bb] on.
Alright, so let's get started
[C] with the right hand first.
We're gonna be hanging out right around middle [Em] C.
_ Our first three [G] notes
in the right hand are G, [Em] B, and E.
_ _ _ Alright, now before we [B] talk about the rhythmic pattern for each
one of these chords in the right hand, I just want to learn the shapes first.
[Em] So this [G] triad,
or three note chord, is our first shape, [Em] G, B, E.
After that, we're moving up to [D] A, D, F sharp.
_ _ _ _ _ Okay,
back down [A] for our third chord, same [Em] as the first, G, B, E. _
[Ab] And our fourth chord, [G] our final chord,
[Eb] we're moving down, [Bm] _
[D] F sharp, A, D.
And if [F] you notice, this is actually the [G] same as our second [Bm] chord,
but it's in an inversion, which means we're changing the order of the three notes, but the
three notes are the same.
[B] So first [Em] chord here, our second [A] chord [D] is A, D, F sharp.
_ _ [Em] Third chord [A] back
to here, our fourth chord, same three notes, [Bm] A, D, F sharp, but we're switching that order.
So this is
an inversion.
We're [Gbm] starting with F sharp on the bottom, then [D] A, then D.
Those are our four different
shapes for the entire song of Falling.
[Bb]
So let's go through those all [Ab] together.
We're going to play
all three notes of each shape at once.
Ready?
Chord one, [G] _ _ chord [D] two, _ _ [Em] chord three, chord _ four, [D]
and repeat.
[Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Em] Now _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] let's talk rhythms.
[Db] [D] There are two different [E] main sections to this song.
We've got the [Bbm] verse,
[B] and we've got the chorus.
[Ab] Both parts are the exact same piano part, except for how we treat the rhythm
in the right [B] hand.
In the [Eb] verse, we actually don't play [B] anything on beat one.
Remember, each chord
gets [E] six counts, _ and on the first count in the [C] right hand for the verse, we don't play anything,
so that's a rest.
_ [G] So it goes one, two, three, four, five, six.
_ We're starting from the bottom, going up to
the top of [Bb] the chord, and back down through the bottom of the chord.
So rest.
[Em] Two, three, four,
[G] five, six.
That's it.
We're going [Em] from the bottom of the chord, up, and back down.
_ [Gbm] Next chord, same pattern.
[D] Rest.
Two, [Bm] three, four, [D] five, six. _
Third [A] chord, back to the first.
[G] Rest.
Two, three, [Em] four, five, six.
Fourth chord.
Rest.
[Gbm] Two, [D] three, four, five, six.
_ [E] Alright, so let's go through all four of those in a row without [A] stopping.
We're gonna give them six
counts each.
[Ab] We're gonna rest on the first and do the same pattern for each chord.
[Abm] Here we go.
_ [C] _
[G] One,
two, three, four, five, [D] six.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
[G] One, two, three, four, five, six.
[Gbm] One.
[D] One more time.
A little faster this time.
[G] One, two, three, four, five, six.
[D] One, four.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ Alright, that's the verse, right hand.
[Bb] For the chorus,
it's [Ab] actually easier.
We're just gonna play [Em] the whole chord six times.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ So let's [C] talk left hand.
It's a bit easier than the right, so we're just gonna add it in instead [Cm] of doing it by itself.
We're gonna hang out [E] right here with octave E's.
And notice where our pointer [B] finger is.
It's right
on a B.
_ _ [E] _ These are the two notes [B] in the left hand for this entire song.
[E] E's and [B] then B.
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
So [Em] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ see how
those [Bm] match up?
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ Let's try the [Bm] verse pattern in the right hand.
Here we go.
[Em] One, two, three, four, five, [Bm] _ _
[D] _ [Em] six.
Left hand plays when the right [B] hand's resting on [D] beat one of each new chord.
[Em] One.
_ _ [Bm] Left.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm]
[D] One more time.
A little faster [Em] this time.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [B] Great [D] job.
[Em] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Em] _
Now let's switch to the [Bm] chorus pattern.
_ [D] _ [Em] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Ab]
And that's the [G] whole tune,
you guys.
[Db] It switches back and forth [B] between verse and chorus, but as you just learned,
the piano part [Bb] doesn't change.
[B] It's just the rhythm in the right [F] hand that [Bbm] changes.
_ [C] So [E] you
guys, that's Alicia [Db] Keys _ [Bb]
Fallin', and I want to thank our [C] subscribers for the requests.
You [Db] guys,
I'm Phil.
This is HD Piano.
