HOW TO PLAY

1Put your right thumb on middle C. Most beginner songs stay under five fingers — you never move your hand.
2Set the speed down and turn CLICK on. Press each key exactly when the note reaches the line.
3Loop the bar that keeps breaking until it feels easy, then add the left hand and take the speed back up.

LYRICS

The (F6)buz zard took the mon key for a (Gm7)ride in the air, the (F6)mon key thought that ev’ ry thing was (D7)on the square.

The (F6)buz zard tried to throw the mon key (Gm7)off his back, the (F6)mon key grabbed his neck and said, “Now, lis ten, Jack.”

Straight en (F7)up and fly right,

straight en (Bb)up and fly right.

Straight en (F7)up and fly right,

cool down (Bb)pa pa, don’t you blow your top.

Ain’t no use in (Bb)jiv in’.

What’s the (Bb)use in (Gm7)div in’?

Straight en (F7)up and fly right,

cool down (Bb)pa pa, don’t you (C7)blow your top.” The (A7)buz zard told the mon key, “You’re chok ing me, re (D7)lease your hold and I’ll set you free.” The (G9)mon key looked the buz zard right dead in the eye and said, “Your sto ry’s touch ing, but it sounds like a lie.”
