Sunny written out as piano music: the I – V7 – I – V7 loop in Eb major for both hands, with chord names and finger numbers. Press play and follow the cursor. The left hand plays lazy seesaw (root–fifth 1-5-5) and the right hand hopscotch bells.
Sunny chord chart
The loop once round, bar by bar, in Eb major. The roman numeral says the chord's place in the key, so the same chart works in any key.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Eb | I | Eb G Bb |
| 2 | Bb7 | V7 | Bb D F Ab |
| 3 | Eb | I | Eb G Bb |
| 4 | Bb7 | V7 | Bb D F Ab |
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: lazy seesaw (root–fifth 1-5-5) in the left hand and hopscotch bells in the right, over the Eb – Bb7 – Eb – Bb7 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.
