[Am] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _

So afterwards, obviously, you can add more like improvisations and [Em] decorations to make it more bouncy.
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _

[C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Yeah.
[Em] Anyway, but anyway, let's get right into it.
So melody and block [N] chords first, because that's the foundation of the song.
From that, you can add all these improvisations and decorations afterwards.
So here we go.
Let's get right into it.
We'll break it up into a few parts to learn it.
We'll break it up into about four parts, okay?
First part goes like this.
[E] Right hand starts on the D here.
Middle C.
Corponotive C.
D here.
So D, E flat, D, E flat, [Dm] D, C.
_ A, C, [E] D, E flat, [C] D, C.
And that's it for the first part for the right hand.
Let's do it again.
So it goes like this.
D, E flat, D, E flat, D, C.
[Am] Down to A, [E] C, D, E flat, [C] D, C.
And that's it for the right hand.
Once you get that left [F#] hand, two chords here.
The two [F] chords are F major, F, A, C.
And second chord, C [C] major, C, E, G.
So these two chords [F] in line, so F [C] major and C major.
The two hands together, it goes [E] like this.
Right hand starts.
_ D [F] and F major together. _ _
Continues.
[Dm] _ C and [C] C major together.
That's it for the first part.
Let's do it [E] again.
So it goes like this.
_ [F] Together. _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] Alright, _ so that's the first part.
[Em] Moving on to the second part.
Right hand continues.
It goes [E] D, E flat, D, E flat, [Am] D, C.
Down to A, C, E, [B] C, D.
That's it [A] for the second part for the right hand.
Let's do it again.
So it goes [B] D, E [G] flat, D, E flat, D, C.
[Am] Down to A, C, E, C, [Dm] D.
That's it for the right hand.
Once you get that left [D] hand, three chords here.
The three chords are [F] F major, F, A, C.
Second chord, D major.
[D] D, F, A.
And third [G] chord, G major, which is G, B, D.
So with these [Em] three chords in mind,
[F] F major, D [G] major, and G major.
The two hands together, it goes like this.
Right hand starts.
_ [E] D and F [F] major together.
And D major [D] together.
_ _ D and G [G] major together. _
Like that.
One [A#] more time.
It goes.
[F] Together. _ _
[D] Together.
_ [G] Together.
And that's it.
Okay?
Back to back.
The two [E] parts we've learned [A#] so far will be playing like this.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ [F] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ Beautiful.
Okay, moving on to [E] the third part.
It means no worries.
It goes [B] D, E flat, E [G] flat, D, C.
[Am] _ A, C, C, [Dm] A, C, D.
[Bm] That's it for this third part.

The three [Am] chords are A minor, A, C, E.
Second chord, F major, [F] F, A, C.
And third chord, first [D] inversion, D major, which is F sharp, A, D.
So with these three chords in mind,
A [F] minor, F major, and [D] first inversion, D major.
Two hands together, it goes like this.
The right hand [E] starts.
D [Am] and A minor together.
And F major together.
[F] _ _ D and the next [D] chord together.
That's it for the third part.
One more time.
It goes.
_ [Am]

[E] E, E, D, D.
D, E flat, D, E flat, D, C.
Okay, so that's the fourth and last part for the right hand.
Let's do it one more time to confirm it.
It goes.
E, E, D, C, C.
_ _ [E] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [E] D, E flat, D, E flat, [B] D, C.
That's it for the right hand.
One, skip that.
Left hand, three chords together.
Three [C] chords are second inversion of C major, which is G, C, E.
Second [G] chord, G major.
Cubity.
And third chord, C [C] major, which is C, D.
So with these three chords in mind,
so second inversion, C [G] major, G major, and [C] C major.
Turn it together, it goes like this.
Right hand starts.
D and next chord together.
_ _ _ _ [Em] Second E and G major [G] together.

_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ Alright, so yeah, that's that.
Okay, so once you [Em] get all of these parts all good,
you can start to add all the improvisations and decoration patterns into it.
Left hand, you can do like octave bass [F] notes,
arpeggios, patterns, _ _
[C] rhythmic patterns. _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ Yeah, that kind of thing.
And right hand, you [D#] can harmonize it based on the chords as well
to make it thicker in texture.
[Bm] So you can do something like this.
_ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
