The chords first, then one hand at a time. Each step plays in the player above.

1
Chords: Bb – Gm – Ebsus4 – Bb
Made sits in Bb major: Bb is home, where the song ends. It goes round 4 chords: Bb is Bb, D and F; Gm is G, Bb and D; Ebsus4 is Eb, Ab and Bb. Play each one as a block with your right hand until the changes feel easy.

Left hand: Gondola ripple
Up to the top, a pause to sway, and back: a gentle boat ride. Musicians call it broken chord 1-5-8-8-5 (6/8) (broken chord), a medium pattern heard in 25 songs of the library.

Right hand: Cradle chords
A chord, a rock to beat two, a soft pickup back: like a cradle. It moves with the chords, so it fits every bar of the loop.

Both hands at 84 BPM
Put the two hands together over the loop. Start at half speed with the player's speed control, and bring it up once every change is easy.

Ending: Eb – F – Bb
The last chords are IV – V – I, then one chord rolled from the bottom up, left to ring.

Gondola ripple: broken chord 1-5-8-8-5 (6/8), a medium pattern. It follows the chords, so the same shape works for every bar.

It is a medium one: learn the 4 chords as blocks first, then add the left hand, then the right, slowly.

Made from one arrangement of this song: the left and right hands are the patterns these scores repeat most.
