So the introduction is the only semi-tricky thing about this song.
You're gonna need to really hit it on the right hand.
It starts with that little funky guitar chord that you hear.
That's gonna be played like this.
[B] With that, your [A] left hand is gonna be playing this.
And then you'll hear every now and again it goes,
before going back to what I showed you before.
[Abm] [A]
You get the idea.
[N] That's your introduction.
Now when you come back to your verse, your right hand is gonna be playing this.
[Abm]
[Gb] That's literally all there is to the verses.
That just keeps looping.
Your left hand is gonna be playing this.
[A] [Ab]
Putting the two hands together, you should get something [A] like this.
[Eb] [Ab]
[A] [Ab]
I know the piano doesn't quite have the funky bass line [Gb] that the song has, but this is really what the notes are.
That's your intro and your verse.
Then your vocal line for your chorus is gonna go as follows.
[Ab] [Gb] [E]
[Ab] [Gbm] [E]
[Gb] Just keeps looping.
[G] With that, guess what?
Your left hand's been doing the same thing it's been [A] doing.
[Ab]
Putting the two hands [Gb] together, you should get something like this.
[E] [Gbm] [E]
[N] So on and so forth.
And that's Keep Your Head Up by Tupac.
