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 Sara without reading music. The left hand plays jogging footsteps (root bass · 1 · 2 · 2& · 3 · 3& · 4) and the right hand freeze-tag chords.
Sara accompaniment in letter notes
The F – Bb – Dm – Eb loop with jogging footsteps in the left hand and freeze-tag 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.

Questions about Sara
What are the letter notes for the Sara piano accompaniment?
Bar by bar, both hands: the bar sheet on this page names every note of the accompaniment (C4 is middle C) and plays along. The loop is F – Bb – Dm – Eb, so the letters repeat with the chords.
What chords are in Sara?
The loop is F – Bb – Dm – Eb (V – I – iii – IV) in Bb major, and the song ends on Fsus4 – F – Bb.
What key is Sara in?
Bb major, at about 88 beats a minute in 4/4.
What does the left hand play in Sara?
Jogging footsteps: root bass · 1 · 2 · 2& · 3 · 3& · 4, a medium pattern. It follows the chords, so the same shape works for every bar.
Is Sara easy to play on piano?
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.
