TAKE IT OFF THE SCREEN
Print the sheet for the piano stand, or load the MIDI into any app and practise at your own tempo.
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.

(B7)I’m up on the (Em7)tight rope.
One side’s (Am7)hate and one is hope.

Well, (C6)ba by, you’re just too blind to

Oh, does it (Am7)feel right.
