Arrangement Details:

  • Key Signature: C Major - no sharps or flats
  • Time Signature: 4/4 — Four quarter-note beats per measure
  • Tempo: Rock Shuffle - a swinging rock rhythm based on triplets (a group of 3 notes played in the same time as 2 notes of the same kind.) Eighth Note/Quaver Triplet
  • Metronome: ♩ = 132
  • Voice Range: A3 - A4
  • Beginner Guitarists: The F6 → F chords can be played as F. They are just following the chords played by the piano on the 4 downbeats of each 'F' bar shown by the downward arrows (↓↓ ↓↓) on the song sheet.

    F6 is a very easy chord to play with a simple transition from F6 to F (see charts). You can play F6 just like the open F chord, leaving the first finger covering strings 1 and 2, while adding your pinkie to the 2nd string, 3rd fret (D note). That way, when you transition to the F chord, you simply lift your finger off the D note and the F chord is ready to go. 💪🎶

    Dm7 can be replaced by Dm, or you can interchange them however you like. G7 adds a little interest, but you may prefer to play G instead.

    N.C. represents No Chord
