The chords used in this song are found in the keyboard/chord reference charts in the workbook.
Practice this song and add in your chord progressions also. The fingering shown is a guide for those
who haven’t develop a comfortable fingering technique. Where you see “1,1” in the fingering that
means to play across both notes with your thumb.
