Rush written out as piano music: the I – V – I – V loop in F major for both hands, with chord names and finger numbers. Press play and follow the cursor. The left hand plays rock hop (root bass · 1 · 2 · 2& · 3 · 4) and the right hand polka-hop chords.
Rush chord chart
The loop once round, bar by bar, in F major. The roman numeral says the chord's place in the key, so the same chart works in any key.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | F | I | F A C |
| 2 | C | V | C E G |
| 3 | F | I | F A C |

What the sheet music shows
The grand staff: the right hand on the treble staff, the left hand on the bass staff, with the chord names above and a finger number on each note (1 is the thumb). It is the accompaniment: rock hop (root bass · 1 · 2 · 2& · 3 · 4) in the left hand and polka-hop chords in the right, over the F – C – F – C chords.
Press play and a cursor follows the music. Above it, Colours paints each note in its key’s colour and Note names writes its letter on its head.
