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 If I Had $1,000,000 without reading music. The left hand plays yo-yo bounce (broken chord 8-5-8) and the right hand knock-knock chords.
If I Had $1,000,000 accompaniment in letter notes
The A – E – D – A loop with yo-yo bounce in the left hand and knock-knock chords in the right. 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.
