Chords for September - Earth Wind and Fire (Piano Lesson by Matt McCloskey)

_ So, I really like this song.
I am so happy somebody asked me for a lesson for it.
Your right hand for the backing track for the entire song is going to go as follows.
_ [F#m] _ _
[E] _ [A] With _ [E] _ _ _ [C#m] _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[E] _ _ [C#m] _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [C#m] _ [F#m] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] that, your left hand is going to be [D] playing.
_ [C#] _ _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [D] _ _ [C#] _ _ [B] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [D] _ [C#] _ _ _ [B] _
_ [F#] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And if you can't stretch to hit that last part, the just _ _ play. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And if you're stretching and it hurts to do this, _ [N] stop.
You do not want to hurt yourself.
Putting those two parts together, you should get something like this for your backing track. _ _ _
[D] _ [C#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[D] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] _
[D] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ [C#m] _ _ [F#m] _ [E] _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] That's your backing [G#m] track for the entire song.
_ _ _ And then the chorus is pretty much the same story.
Your vocal line [C#m] is going to go as follows. _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] Putting that together with the left hand we just learned, you should get something like this for your chorus.
_ _ [D] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C#] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C#] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] And then if you [Am] want to learn the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ little_
_ That's that right there.
So you put that together with the left hand and get something like [D] this. _
[F#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [N]
And there you have it.
