Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with an oompah bass pattern in your left hand — that steady bass-note-then-chord rocking motion that gives the song its gentle forward pulse at a comfortable 82 BPM.

Your right hand carries the melody in G major over six chords, and most transitions are smooth, but keep an eye on the move into B7: your fingers need to find that D-sharp, which isn't in the key signature, so isolate any passage where B7 appears and loop it slowly until the shape feels automatic.

The same goes for C7 — that unexpected B-flat adds emotional color but can catch you off guard.

I'd suggest learning hands separately first, locking in that left-hand oompah groove until it's effortless, then layering the melody on top.

Once both hands sync up, you'll notice the real payoff here: this song trains you to handle non-diatonic chords calmly mid-phrase, a skill that transfers to countless pop tunes down the road.
