_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] _ There you go.
Let's learn it right now.
So the first section, break it up to two parts.
It's easier to learn.
First part of the first section, right hand starts on the G.
So G down to C, C, C, E flat, G, G, G, [Fm] G, A flat, F, F, A flat up to [G] C, G, G.

Let's learn it again.
So it goes G, C, C, C, [Ab] E flat, G, G, G, G, A [Fm] flat, F, F, A flat, C down to [G] G, G.
That's it for the right hand.
Left hand we have three chords here.
The three chords are C [Cm] minor which is C, E flat, G.
Second chord [Fm] is F minor which is F, A flat, C.
And third chord is [Cm] C minor which is C, E flat, G.
So with these three chords in mind, so C minor, [Fm] F minor and [Cm] C major.
C and C minor goes like this.
So right hand starts C and C minor together, _ _ _ _ _ _ A flat and F minor together,
[Fm] _ _ high C and C minor [Cm] together. _

It goes G, [G] C, D, [F] E flat, F, G, G, G, G, A flat, [C] F, E flat, D, [Cm] C.
That's it for the right hand.
Left hand we have three chords here.
The same three chords as the first part.
If you record that, that's C minor, F minor and back to C minor.
If you forgot about these three chords, just go [Fm] back to the first [Cm] part to remember the three chords.
Two hands again for the second part.
It goes like this.
Right hand starts on G, C and C minor together, _ _ _ _ A flat and F minor together, _
[Dm] C and [Cm] C minor together.
That's it for the second part.

Back to the two parts of this section where we play like this. _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Cm] _ So catchy.
Let's move on to the chorus section.
Even more catchy.
I'll give you a preview of this section before we start. _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] _ In the preview, I think I did this section an octave below.
It doesn't really matter.
Whatever your personal preference is.
[Ab] Whatever sound you like better.
Anyway, the right hand starts on the C, C, A flat, [F] B flat, B flat, G, G, G, A flat, F, F, G, A flat, [Cm] G, E flat, C.

So these four [Ab] chords in mind are A flat major, [Eb] E flat major, B flat major, and C minor.
So it ends together, it goes like this.
C and A flat major together.
[Ab] _ _ _ B flat and E flat major [Eb] together.
_ _ A flat and B flat [Bb] major together. _ _

Actually, the four chords are exactly the same as the first part of this section that we just learned.
So A flat [Eb] major, E flat major, [Bb] B flat major, [Cm] and C minor.
So the exact same four chords as the first part of this second section.

_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Abm] There you go.
So yeah, once you get the melody and chords of the both sections all good,
you can start to add your own improvisations and decoration patterns to make it more awesome.
Alright, [C] so left hand, you can do like octave bass and then like arpeggios if you want.
