Play the full song with sheet music
The accompaniment with every note named, bar by bar: the bar sheet shows each note as a bar on the staff with its letter inside, so you can accompany Blow The Wind Southerly without reading music. The left hand plays lilting climb (broken chord 1-5-8 (6/8)), and the right hand sings the tune.
Blow The Wind Southerly accompaniment in letter notes
The Ab – Db – Eb7 – Ab loop with lilting climb in the left hand. Notes struck together are joined with a plus; C4 is middle C.
How to read the bar sheet
The player above shows the treble staff (right hand) over the bass staff (left hand). Every note is a bar as long as it sounds, at its place on the staff, with its name inside, and the music scrolls past a line that marks now. The chord names run along the top.
Start with the left hand alone at a slow speed, then the right, then both. When the letters feel easy, try the sheet music.
