Bodhisattva — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
Watch "Bodhisattva" by Steely Dan in falling notes style — like Synthesia. Color-coded notes fall onto the keyboard in real time. Practice left hand, right hand, or both. Key of G, 220 BPM.
Tip: Start at 50% speed to get comfortable with the fingering, then work your way up to full tempo.
Lyrics
Bo dhi (G)satt va, I’m would you take me by the hand;
Bo dhi (C)satt va, I’m would you take me by the (G)hand?
Can you show me the (A)shine in your Ja pan, the (F6)spar kle of your (Ebmaj7)Chi na?
Can you show me, Bo dhi (G)satt va, Bo dhi satt va?
(G)satt va, I’m gon na sell my house in town;
Bo dhi (C)satt va, I’m gon na sell my house in (G)town.
And I’ll be there, I’ll (A)shine in your Ja pan, I’ll (F6)spar kle in your (Ebmaj7)Chi na.
Yes, I’ll be there, Bo dhi (G)satt va, Bo dhi satt va.
