The Chicken Dance - How to play on accordion chords
Start Jamming...
Okay, today is the chicken dance and it's a request made by Typhooniken.
Alright, anyways, the chicken dance.
I'll play it first and then I'll explain how to play it.
I'm sure you've all [G] danced to this.
[Ab] [A] [C]
[G]
[C]
[G]
[C]
[G]
[C]
[G]
[C]
[Db] Right, and it keeps going, keeps going faster, I mean, [N] faster and faster and faster.
Okay, so the way to play the song is as follows.
The intro [G]
goes
So, [N]
sorry, I can't get the monitor right.
Oh, there's a giant spider on the wall.
But we'll leave him alone.
So, the right hand jumps from G to the other [Em] G.
So, a full octave.
Okay, [N] the left hand also [G] hits the G.
Okay, so
And then from the G it [Am] [G] goes
[Gb]
[G]
[Eb] [A] [G]
[Am] [E]
[A] [G] Okay, [Fm] [G] [A]
[G] [C]
[Em] [A]
[Fm] [N]
the left hand [C] for that
Actually, the left hand [F] for this song is just from [C] C to G.
So, for this one we're [A]
[C] going
Okay,
[G]
and you can do the emphasis.
[Am] [C]
[G] Okay,
[Ab] and then it [C] [Gm] goes
[Eb] F, where [G] are we?
[D] [Fm]
[G]
G.
[B] [A] [G] [Ab]
[E] So [G] [F]
[G] again
[F] [C]
[A] [E] Okay, and on the left hand for that part we're just [G] going from G to C.
So G.
G.
[Am]
[C]
C.
[G]
G. G.
G.
[C] Oh, so actually the [Ab] last part [G] [Fm] goes
[G] So, [Fm] [A]
[C]
[Ab] the last time it [F] goes
[C] [G] Right, so
[Fm] C, [Em]
[C]
[G] C, [F] G, [C] F, E, C.
[G]
[C]
[G] Okay, that's the first part.
Now, the method in the left hand, this [C] is, I guess it's a polka, but all we do is
Okay, so it's a contrabass, so C, [G] C major, [C] C major.
[G] [C]
[G] [C]
[G] I [Ab] [C]
hope [G] [N] you get the left hand.
Now, in the middle part, when people do si do and they dance around
So, we just [Am] finished it
[C]
[N] [E]
[G] Okay, we're walking down every note, or every half note from G, [Gb] F [Ab] sharp, [E] F, E.
[G] [C]
Okay, [D] that part, so [G] it's
[F] [E]
[G] [E] Okay, so we're doing the big jump [G]
[E] from
[C]
[N] And then again
F, [E] F, E, [G] G, D.
[C] [B] [N]
Okay, so again, those two [Gb] [E] parts
[Em]
[E] [C] [Gb]
[E] [G] [C]
[B] [Em] It [A] [E] [F]
[G] [A] goes A, G, [Gb] F [Fm] sharp, E.
[A]
[Ab] [F] Again, [D]
[C] [Bm] [N] that part
[F] [Dm] So [C] [B] [Dm] again
[C]
[B] [C] [D] [C]
[B] [Gm]
Actually, how does the [C] polka go?
[G]
[Dm] [Eb] [Gb] [G]
[Dm] Okay, [G] [Cm] [G]
[C] [G]
[D] [C] [G] the left hand for that [C] goes
When
[G] [C]
[G] [C] [G] you hit the B, that's when you hit the G on the left hand.
[D] [G] It's a little G.
[C]
[G] [Abm] [C]
Okay,
[Gb] [N] now the middle part, the part where they do si do, your left hand doesn't have to be so
Sorry, so staccato.
Meaning the main [C] song goes
[G] The middle part can be a little bit more chilled out.
[Gb] [C]
You can [N] make it a bit more [C] legato, the left hand.
And then when you come back, [N]
that's when it becomes a little bit more active.
[F] Just again, for the middle part, what [Gbm] [G]
happens
By [N] the way, these ones, you can do two notes at a time.
So instead of [Dm] [C] [Bm]
[F] [G] [Am]
[G] [Eb] [Fm]
[B] [D] [C]
just
[G] Okay, and the next time that you do
I mean, one way to play the song, I guess it's a really popular way, is to start the song really slowly.
[A]
[C] [G]
[N] And then every time, after you do the middle part, where they do si do, you come [C]
[G]
back
[N] Meaning a little bit faster.
And then in the end, you can really go really, really fast and just end on the C major.
That's it.
I hope that's a clear song.
It's pretty easy, from C to G, from C to G.
Let me know if you have any
