Chords
If you are playing this on the guitar, use the chords against the lyrics below, if you are playing this on
the piano, this is what I *think* she is doing. Much like other surprise songs she plays really simple chords
and does some fun stuff to make them all merge together.
Intro chords
Eb: Left hand - Eb Right hand - Bb Eb
Bb: Left hand - Bb Right hand - Bb Eb
Ab: Left hand - Ab Right hand - Bb Eb
During the first verse she's adding an F and a G in the right hand before changing back to the Eb
Pre chorus chords
She moves up the keyboard, so:
Eb: Left hand - Eb Right hand - Eb G Bb
Bb: Left hand - Bb Right hand - D F Bb
Ab: Left hand - Ab Right hand - C Eb Bb
Note that the Ab has a Bb on top (I think), this gives it a seamlessness and interest. She does this a lot
and it's very cool.
Chorus chords
Same as the prechorus but play an octave in the left hand. Using the combinations above I think you can
start to work out how she is doing it in the Clean transitions too.
Also, controversially I think she made a mistake in the live performance but if she did she pulls it off
so seamlessly it comes across as flawless. I *think* it probably should have gone back into the 2nd chorus
of Clean and not repeat the bridge bit of Clean but who knows, I kinda think it's perfect the way she does it.
