Don't Think Twice, It's Alright — Classic Piano Sheet Music
8 people have learned this song
Read "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" by Bob Dylan in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of G. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 220 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence moving through a wider set of chords in the key of G — you've got seven to manage, including those nice color shifts to G7, D7, and the A chord, which briefly steps outside the key and will ask your fingers to reach a little differently.
Your left hand plays an octave bass pattern throughout, so lock that in first: practice just the root-octave motion hand-alone until it feels automatic, because that steady foundation is what makes the right hand sound relaxed.
At 220 BPM the pulse moves quickly, but the rhythm itself is gentle and flowing, so resist any urge to rush — count in two rather than four and let the phrases breathe.
The trickiest transitions will be moving between G7 and C, and catching that A chord cleanly when it appears; loop those two-bar spots slowly before playing through.
Once your hands are comfortable separately, combine them at half tempo and gradually bring it up.
This is the song that will train you to handle seventh chords as naturally as basic triads — once these shapes are under your fingers, a huge number of folk and pop tunes will feel instantly more approachable.
