For She was more like a beau ty queen (G#m)from a mov ie scene.

Then ev (G#m)’ry head turned with eyes that dreamed (G#m)of be ing the one
who will dance on the floor in the round.
(D)Peo ple al ways told me, be (F#m)care ful of what you do.

So take (G#m)my strong ad vice:
just who will dance mem ber on the floor al ways in the round.

Teacher’s notes
This arrangement is a great workout for left-hand independence — your bass line uses an Alberti pattern that needs to stay locked in at 120 BPM while your right hand handles the melody.
Start hands-separate and get that left hand on autopilot before combining.
The chord set leans heavily on minor sevenths like F#m7 and Bm7, plus a C#7 that adds real tension, so spend time shaping those voicings until they feel natural under your fingers.
Watch the transition from G#m back to F#m — it's easy to fumble that half-step shift if you're not anticipating it.
The move to the C natural chord will also catch you off guard since it sits outside the key; flag it mentally so you don't hesitate.
Loop the trickiest four-bar phrase at 80 BPM until it's clean, then gradually bring it up to tempo.
This is the piece that'll make your seventh-chord transitions feel effortless going forward.

- Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
