Easy piano arrangement in the key of A at 75 BPM. Difficulty: medium. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to develop your walking bass technique — your left hand needs to move steadily between root notes and passing tones at 75 BPM, which feels deceptively slow until you realize how precise each step has to be.

Pay special attention to the transitions between E7 and F#m, then F#m dropping to G; those shifts can trip you up because G sits outside the key of A and your fingers won't expect it.

I'd suggest practicing left hand alone first, looping just the verse progression (A–E–D–A) until the walking pattern feels automatic, then layering in your right-hand chord voicings.

Keep the sustain pedal light — lift cleanly on each chord change so that walking bass doesn't blur into mud.

Once both hands sync up, you'll notice the sad, rolling feel clicks into place naturally.

This is the song that'll make walking bass lines feel like second nature for every ballad you play after it.
