Easy piano arrangement in the key of C at 120 BPM. Difficulty: medium. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement will seriously stretch your chord vocabulary — with over forty different chords, you'll encounter chromatic shifts you don't see in most pop tunes, moving through areas like Ab, Db, and Gb before snapping back to C.

Your left hand drives an oompah bass pattern throughout, so lock that in first at around 80 BPM until it feels automatic, then layer in the right hand.

Watch the transitions between distant chords — jumping from, say, an Abmaj to an A7 or an F#dim to a G requires quick repositioning, so isolate those two-chord pairs and loop them until your fingers know the shape before your eyes find the next note.

At 120 BPM the tempo is brisk but manageable once the jumps are clean.

The real stumbling point is mental: don't panic when you see unfamiliar chord names — trust the color-coded notes and stay rhythmically steady.

This is the song that'll make chromatic chord movement feel normal to your hands.
