    Tomorrow sits in Bb major: Bb is home, where the song ends. It goes round 4 chords: Bb is Bb, D and F; F is F, A and C; Gm is G, Bb and D. Play each one as a block with your right hand until the changes feel easy.

  2. 2

    Left hand: Walking roots

    One low note on every beat, steady as walking feet. Musicians call it root bass · quarters (root bass rhythm), an easy pattern heard in thousands of songs of the library.

  3. 3

    Right hand: Run-up chords

    Four steady chords plus a quick extra one leading into the next bar. It moves with the chords, so it fits every bar of the loop.

  4. 4

    Both hands at 100 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.

  5. 5

    Ending: Bb – Eb – Bb

    The last chords are I – IV – I, then one chord rolled from the bottom up, left to ring.
