_ _ _ _ This song is a little bit different than the ones I've been doing.
They've mainly been more rock or classic rock or alternative.
This is a song by Kanye West called Homecoming.
I just think it's a pretty sweet piano part, so I thought I'd teach it. _
_ It's probably more advanced, but if you work at it, even an intermediate player can get
this down in about a day or so.
So here's how it goes.
_ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
Okay, so I'll just do the right hand first.
It _ starts with a bunch of F minor [Fm] chords.
_ It's an inversion, so you're playing C, F, A flat. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ [C] _ You hit two F [Fm] minors, _ _ _ _ [Eb] you go to this E flat chord, which is a B flat, E flat, G, _ [Ab] and you
go back [E] and forth.
[Fm] So _ _ [Eb] _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] [Fm] you do an F minor, _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
and then you're playing another F minor, but in a different variation.
You're playing it [Fm] down here, so it's the A flats down here, and you're playing C and F here. _ _ _
_ So the only difference from this one is the A flat has moved to the bottom.
_ _ _ So [D] _ I know it's kind [G] of different, but the whole beginning of the song is only [Fm] two different chords.
It's the F minor, _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [F] _ [Eb] _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ and you come up here for [Ab]
a G flat chord, so it's E flat, G, or E flat,
E flat, C. _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
[B] You go [Ab] E flat, A flat, C, _ _
_ [Db] _ _ A flat, C sharp. _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ And then you do just [B] two note runs down.
[Ebm] It's E [Ab] flat, C, _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] C sharp, B flat. _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
[Cm] _ [Bbm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Fm] _
Your fingers sort of stay the same distance apart [A] there, so just [Gb] keep the same shape.
[Ab] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ [Gb] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ Kind of B flat and a G, and then you just hit the A [Ab] flat by itself, _ and [Cm] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [F] _ _
then you end
on the C, F. _ _ _
So again, [Ab] slowly from that second part. _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Bbm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ So that little run, the main [G] notes are G, _ [Ab] A flat, _ [Gm] C, _
[Eb] E [F] flat, _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ but you can sort of hit
a [Cm] C the whole time.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ And the second time [N] through, all you do is play octaves.
If you can, it doesn't matter.
If you can, it sounds more like the [Cm] song. _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] So again, the whole [Fm] part. _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ [Fm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ [Ab] _ [Bbm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Gm] _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ And then the left hand plays a straightforward bass line.
_ _ [G] Starts [F] on F, _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ and then [G] I'll just play the [F] notes.
_ F, [G] G, _ _ A [Ab] flat, _ _ _ [Bb] B flat, _ _ _ [Db] C sharp, _ _ [C] C, _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ and that's the same throughout.
[F] _ So _ [G] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] try to put together slowly.
It's kind of [B] hard to play slow, but [F] _ _ [Fm] I'll
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ [Fm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [C] _
[Bbm] _ [Fm] _ _ [G] _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Fm] try and play it even slower _ _ [Gb] to show you how the
right hand and left hand go together.
[F] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ [F] [Ab] So putting it all together full speed.
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
[Ab] _ [G] _ [Db] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
