Chords for Piano Tutorial of Stevie Wonder's Ribbon in the Sky

_ _ Hey everybody, we're back _
Mr..
Keys
Also known as Mike Fenty _
So yeah, we're gonna start today with ribbon in the sky [C] by Steve wonder
_ _ [Eb] _ Fifth or sixth tutorial [D] not sure kind of [E] losing count anyway.
Um this was [C] requested by
[Eb] _
One YouTube member [Db] can't mention his name because he's going [C] to
be proposing to his girlfriend with this song and
[N] _ _ He specifically asked if I could show him
Kind of how to play this song
This is a song that I played at many many many many many many many weddings, so um
it's a song that I love and
Yeah, so I'll just pretty much not going to really go over the key changes or anything like that
_ _ [Db] [Bb] We're [Dbm] going to go over the basics of the melody just so that you guys can play the song
[Ab] And so yeah, man.
Hope this helps
[C] _ good luck in the proposal [D] and
everything goes [Dbm] once you uh
_ Once you do [Eb] it, I'm in
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Fm] _ _
All [Bbm] _ right, _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Bb] so we're going to start.
It's in the key of
D-flat major at least when it starts off and so we'll go over some chords
All right, so we have our E flat [Eb] minor chord E [Ebm] _ _ flat G flat B flat _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm]
Actually, _ _ _ _ _ I'll extend it so we're going to use an E flat minor seven chord so _
_ _ Okay, _ _ _ _ _ _ and I just dropped [Cm] the D flat down to [Ebm] C.
This _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
is an F flat sorry an F minor seven chord
F Ab C Db _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ This is a B flat minor seven chord B flat D flat F Ab
[Dbm] Let me go back [D] to our E flat [Gb] minor seven chord
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
[Gb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Db] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [G] _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Okay, so here we go
_ So I'll just play this part
Okay, _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [Eb] _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Db] _ [Abm] _ [B] _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Eb] so let's go over that really slowly
_ [Bb] _ This [Eb] _ is what you call an E flat sus chord
[Db] So [Eb] it's E flat B [Db] flat D flat
_ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ Um no real no _ _
It's kind [G] of the same [Db] chord
[Gb] It's [Ebm] just the bass is moving up so
[Gb] It's more or [Ebm] less a flat minor seven chord with an F bass [F] so
_ [Bb] _ [Db] _ _ [Ebm] Okay, _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
this is what we call _ a G flat 9
_ _ _ flat a flat D flat _ and _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
This is our E flat over G chord
[F] Which makes [Gm] it a nine?
So it's G F B [Eb] flat E flat next chord G flat over a [Gb] flat [Ab] a
[Gb] flat G flat B flat
So [Db] _
_ _ [Ab] _ [B] _ _ this is a C flat major seven chord
_ _ E _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [B] flat and _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ [Ab] then back to our G flat over a flat [Gb] chord
Okay, so when we put that all together we get this
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ [Fm] _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ [Gb] _ _ [Eb] _
[Db] _ [Eb] _ [Gb] _ _ [Eb] _ [Gb] _ _ [Ab] _
_ [B] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ Okay, so the way I showed you might have been [Bb] slightly different from how I played it _
[F] But everything that I played is [Ab] pretty much how [Eb] I showed you
_ [Gb] So _ _ [Eb] _ [Db] _ _ _ [B] _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ hopefully that helps you can always take those chords
_ _ [N]
When you're trying to transpose
_ One trick is just take the note
Take each note and and move it up a semitone the semitone is basically the closest
_ _ [C] Note so the semitone above [D] C [Db] _ [Eb] is C sharp or [C] you can look at this D flat so
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Cm] All [Db] _
_ _ _ _ right, [Bbm] _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Ebm] so
The [Ab] song does key change [Ebm] quite frequently
[Em] Right and it goes on [G] to D major and [Ab] then it goes on to E flat major and I think possibly
[E] So _
[Gbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [E] _
_ [Dbm] _ [Gbm] _ [B] _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _
_ [Gbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ [Em] _ yeah, that's basically song [Eb] guys
[E] _
Yeah, man, really hope that [N] helps please let me know as soon as you
Do what you gotta do.
Alright, peace.
God bless and
