_ _ _ Life J Dilla.
_ I'm just going to play it through first of all _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Db] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Okay, now I'll break it down a little bit _ first chord _ _ _
that's a B flat minor 9 [Fm] the left hand is [Bb] playing a B flat and an [Ab] A flat and
Optionally [Bbm] a D flat as well [Fm] the right hand is playing F a flat
C [Db]
D flat F _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ okay, and
[Fm]
The left hand is about to play
[Db] those two notes again, so it's
_ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ Right hands going to play D flat or _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
you could just play two notes in the left to start with if it's hard [Fm] to stretch
_ _ [Db] And then play those two _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ and then we got this chord
[Cm] So _ _ _ _ _ [C]
the [Ab] right hand has three black [Bb] notes B [Eb] flat E flat [Ab] a [Eb] flat
_ [Ab] _
Left [C] hand has C and [E] E
[Cm] _
_ [C] That's a C7 [E] sharp 9
_ [C] _ _ [Cm] _ _
[E] flat 13
So far we've got _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Eb] and then we play the [E] E in the [C] left hand again, and [Ab] _ [Cm] _ _ [E] _
_ then we go down to [C] this chord _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ so it's
left hand F [F] C F and
_ then in the [G] right
[Ab] G [Fm] and A flat
And _ _ _ _ then we're going to play the G again in the [G] right
Actually, [Fm] we'll play it.
Sorry.
We'll play it with the left _ _ [Cm] like [Fm] that _ _ [Cm] and then the [Fm] right is going to play an F
_ by the way, that's an
F minor 9 or _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ something like F minor
Yeah, call it an F minor 9 _ _ _ _ and then we've got [Bbm] _ _
that's a B flat minor 9
[Bb] left hand [Ab] B flat A flat right hand [Bbm] D flat [Db] F
C [Bbm] and _ then we just hold that on and we go
[Bb] B flat F in the right it feels like you should play something in the [Bbm] meantime like maybe
_ _ _ Maybe the D flat
_ _ Very gently or B flat in the left hand or something _ _ _
But I listen to the song and you can hardly hear anything so it's you can just leave it _
_ _ [Ab] It's just you playing the piano without any beats so it sounds like you need to add something, but you don't have to
[Fm] So we've got so _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ [Eb] that D flat comes straight [Fm] after the left hand
And [Db] _ we've got [Eb] this chord
_ repeat the [E] E
[Fm] G _ in the [G] left [Fm] F in the right
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ Play it to a bit faster
But _ _ [Cm] _ _ [E] _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ sometimes my D flat doesn't play
_ It's stuck _ _ [Cm] _
_ [E] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ and then it's kind of [B] all about how loudly you play the chords in the notes so the first chord pretty [Fm] loud
[Bbm] the _ repeated bit softer
The _ D flat fairly loud
_ _ _ _ [Eb]
That chord not too [C] loud
[E] E gentle in the [Fm] left
fairly gentle
[Cm] [Fm] Sort _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Fm] _ _
of [Bb] medium
Keep [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
[C] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] wanting to play over and over again.
It's a really nice chord sequence, so I hope that was useful _
