Lyrics

They say (Bb5)love

That makes me

a mil lion aire.

I got a wom an with eyes that (Bb)shine

(F)down (Eb)deep

as a dia mond (Bb)mine.

She’s my treas ure, so ver y rare.

(F)She made (Eb)me

a mil lion aire.

When we ride a round, ride a round this old where, (Bb)town

in my (F)beat up (Eb)car

with the win dows (Bb5)down,

peo ple look at her emp ty and they look at is (Bb)me

and (F)say, “That (Eb)boy is sure liv in’ like a lux u ry,

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build your pedal-bass independence — your left hand will anchor on a single bass note (often Bb or F) while the right hand moves through chord changes above it, and keeping that left hand steady while your right hand shifts is the core skill here.

In Eb major with just five chord shapes, the harmony is simple, but at 154 BPM the transitions between Eb, Bb, and F need to feel automatic, so start hands-separate at around 100 BPM and really lock in those right-hand chord shapes before you layer the left hand underneath.

Watch the Bb-to-F pedal moments especially — students tend to rush those or accidentally lift the bass early.

Once you can loop the verse pattern cleanly at tempo, the whole song clicks into place.

This is the piece that'll make pedal-bass technique feel like second nature for you going forward.
