Anyway, this is the version that's pretty much exactly like the one on his live YouTube version.
So, not the sheet music, which doesn't have as much flair, but the live version.
So pretty straightforward.
It's kind of a one, two, and one, you know, kind of swing back and forth rhythm to it.
And if you know how to play piano, it shouldn't be that bad.
I'm not really that good, but I just learned it.
So, in the left hand, the basic verse parts are the left hand with your index finger,
you're hitting an [G#] E and a G sharp.
[E]
And with the right hand, you're hitting a E, right above middle [G#] C with your thumb, and
an F sharp.
And that's pretty much just the [C#m] basic.
Okay?
So, one with the left hand, and two, and okay.
And then, the right hand stays the same on the E and the F sharp, [E] and the left hand goes
back and forth, alternating between the [G#] E and G [E] sharp, and the B and A.
[C#m] So that's all it is.
[F#]
Cigarettes and chocolate milk, these are just a couple of my cravings.
So you just do that, you [A] know, through the verse.
Now, when it gets to the part about everything, it seems I like a little bit [D#] thicker or stronger,
or whatever that is.
[B] Then you're going to do a walk down.
So it doesn't change until then, so you [F#] just keep doing this, you know, until it changes.
And then when it gets to that part of everything, it seems [C#m] I likes a little bit, the left hand
does the same thing as men do, the [G#] E and the G sharp, but the right hand moves over and
you go to [E] an E and a G sharp.
Basically the same thing the left hand is playing.
And then [C#m] the left hand moves down with your middle finger on the [D] D, and then the right
[E] hand answers that with an E and an A.
Then [C#] the left hand goes to a [A] C sharp and an A, and the right hand stays the same.
Okay?
And [D#] then the left hand moves to a [B] D sharp and a [E] B, and the right hand [D#] does a D sharp,
[B] F sharp, and B, but you do it in the
Okay?
So I'm going to do that really slowly, alright?
The walk [E] down starts
[A]
[B] Okay?
So then if you were singing it, you would hear
Everything it seems [E] I likes a little bit stronger, [A] a little [B] bit thicker.
Okay?
And then the left hand is going to go back to [C#] a [A] C sharp and an A, and then the right
hand is going to do a little
[E] You know, the thumb is on the E, [C#m] pinky is on the C sharp, and you're going to hit those
two together, and then kind of do [A] a little
Between the C sharp, B, and the C sharp.
Okay?
So that walk down [D#] [B] is
[A] And then, on [B] the left hand, you're going to go B, E, [A] A, and the right hand you're going
to go [F#m] E, F sharp, [A] and C sharp, and you're going to hold the left hand in this position,
but the right hand is going to [F#]
go
So it's just [C#m] you're going to take the pinky, and then [B] the same chord except you're going
to move down to the B, [F#] and then back again.
And when you go back, you're going to move the [A] index finger of the left hand from the
E to the [B] D sharp.
Okay?
So, [D] pretty simple, if you need to [C#] go back and write those notes down and then figure it out.
But that [E] [A]
[B] [C#m] [B] walk
[F#m] So it would be
[F#] Everything it seems I [C#m] likes a little bit stronger, [A] a little [B] bit thicker, [A] a little bit
[B]
Okay?
And so I'm going to upload that as [N] one video to try to break them up into sections so they
won't take so long to upload.
And that'll be, we'll call this part [N] one.
Yeah.

Between the C sharp, B, and the C sharp.
Okay?
So that walk down [D#] [B] is
[A] And then, on [B] the left hand, you're going to go B, E, [A] A, and the right hand you're going
to go [F#m] E, F sharp, [A] and C sharp, and you're going to hold the left hand in this position,
but the right hand is going to [F#]
go
So it's just [C#m] you're going to take the pinky, and then [B] the same chord except you're going
