Tino Coury's Message on my Channel

Wow... Guess what...

Tino Coury, the Artist who sang Diary posted on my YouTube Channel. Maybe to most of you guys, it doesn't seem like anything special. To me, it's kinda special. At least some of my songs get appreciated personally by the artists themselves besides all of you guys who are extremely important to me.

Here's the message :

Mood : Emo Mood + Clubbing Mood + Playful Mood

Key : Bb Minor

Alright, this song is not that easy to play, due to the black keys. I tend to slip on black keys easily as they are quite small. But for some reason, they always sound better to me. I saw many variations of this song played by different musicians on YouTube. I play it the Noob style. Strong, powerful, not much improvisation. Pure BULL's strength. Something that most of you can play. But, just don't destroy your poor piano.

Click HERE to view to video while reading this tutorial or you'll feel lost.

Introduction
Just pounce on Bb Octave for two bars of 4 beat.

How you choose to express yourself
It's all your own and I can tell
It comes naturally, it comes naturally
(Chords are actually very straightforward. Low Bb Octaves, then F#, G#, back to Bb. Right Hand plays the melody in simple notes, no chords yet)

You follow what you feel inside
It's intuitive, you don't have to try
It comes naturally, mmmm it comes naturally
(Chords are actually very straightforward. Low Bb Octaves, then F#, G#, back to Bb. Right Hand plays the melody in simple chords)

And it takes my breath away
What you do, so naturally
(Smooth Octaves with Beat, when you play, hit the thumb twice on the upper note of the Octave) Chords are F#, G#, then Bb then C# back to F#

You are the thunder and I am the lightning
And I love the way you know who you are
And to me it's exciting
When you know it's meant to be
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you're with me, baby
(Chorus, Left Hand very powerful broken chords with your own creative combinations on chords Bb, F#, C# then G# back to Bb)

Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
Bay bay baby
(Start to lower down to prepare for the next part of the song)

You have a way of moving me
A force of nature, your energy
It comes naturally (You know it does)
It comes naturally
Mmmm yeah
(Chords are actually very straightforward. Low Bb Octaves, then F#, G#, back to Bb. Right Hand plays the melody in simple notes, no chords yet)

And it takes my breath away (Everytime)
What you do, so naturally
(Smooth Octaves with Beat, when you play, hit the thumb twice on the upper note of the Octave - more depth this time) Chords are F#, G#, then Bb then C# back to F#

You are the thunder and I am the lightning
And I love the way you know who you are
And to me it's exciting
When you know it's meant to be
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you're with me, baby
(Chorus, Left Hand very powerful broken chords with your own creative combinations on chords Bb, F#, C# then G# back to Bb)

Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
Bay bay baby
(Start to lower down to prepare for the next part of the song)

When we collide, sparks fly
When you look in my eyes, it takes my breath away
(Bridge - Very Gentle, very Smooth, F#, G#, Bb, C# back to F# again)

You are the thunder and I am the lightning
And I love the way you know who you are
And to me it's exciting
When you know it's meant to be
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you're with me, baby
(Beginning 2 phrases strong chords, just hit once each. Bb and F#. Chorus, Left Hand very powerful broken chords with your own creative combinations on chords C# then G# back to Bb)

Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
Bay bay baby

(Naturally)
Naturally x5
Bay bay baby

(Naturally)
Naturally x5
Everything baby comes naturally

Freestyle all the way!

Mood : Emo Mood + Angry Mood (It's kinda obvious)

Key : A Minor (You're gonna enjoy this a lot!)

I can't say this song is easy to play, but it's quite straightforward. However, take note of the background music. The piano part of the background music can be quite complicated if you want to play it together with the Melody, unless you've got 3 hands. Well, on the other hand, you can imitate certain background like what I've done.

Click HERE to view to video. You're gonna need it while you read this tutorial.

Introduction
My main focus for the introduction of this song is to build momentum. As you notice, I go from simple notes, to little chords, to more broken chords, then high Left Hand accompaniment, and later to the Lower Deep Bass.

Left Hand : A, F, C, G (First part you can play 5th aparts, then Second Part, you play 5th apart then back to the same note an Octave higher)

Right Hand : G, C, G, C, G, C, B, C after the Left Hand, sounds continuous. You can add more notes in Third Part ie E, G, C and F, G, C

I read your diary
And it said
That you weren't in love with me
And you're leaving
And I wish that I didn't see
That you fell in love with him, him, him
But I read your diary
(Left Hand starts high in the middle since there's no bass in this part, but slowly move down towards the end. See the Video) Chords are A, F, C, G

There's a bridge over here before the next part. Learn it!

I saw a book wit lock and key right next to your name
I, I, I, I couldn't help myself cause things aint just been the same
Can you please tell me cause this shit is so insane
My heart is bleeding
Papercut from reading, reading
(This part has Jumping Bass on the Original Music, you can imitate it using bold Chords with Octaves. Just Jump and Bounce and POUNCE on your piano, don't destroy it though) A, F, C, G

Page 1
Says that your falling in and out of love
Page 2
Says all them things I do just aint enough
Page 3
No I couldn't see, Page 3 says you don't know how to explain it to me
(Smooth Left Hand to indicate changes in the Bass part. Just play your favorite broken chords) A, F, C, G

But I read your diary
And it said
That you weren't in love with me
And you're leaving
And I wish that I didn't see
That you fell in love with him, him, him
But I read your diary
Oh Oh Oh
Your diary
Oh Oh Oh
(Similar to above style but you can add more depth with Broken Chords with more Chords played at the same time, not so broken)

I turn the page and see a picture of you and him
No, No, No, that was the night you told me you were out with your
Friends
And now I know that my kiss was just S, Second
My heart is bleeding
Papercut from reading, reading...
(This part has Jumping Bass on the Original Music, you can imitate it using bold Chords with Octaves. Just Jump and Bounce and POUNCE on your piano, don't destroy it though) A, F, C, G

Page 4
Says your addicted to sexin him every night
Page 5
Has all the reasons you know that this isn't right
Page 6
I can't handle this
I feel just like JT on that cry me a river shit
(Smooth Left Hand to indicate changes in the Bass part. Just play your favorite broken chords) A, F, C, G - Also notice that the Right Hand here is different, instead of jumping on C it's D now, the lyrics I mean.

Cause I read your diary
And it said
That you weren't in love with me
And your leaving
And I wish that I didn't see
That you fell in love with him, him, him
But I read your diary
Oh Oh Oh
Your diary
Oh Oh Oh
(Broken Chords with more Chords played at the same time, not so broken)

Let's make a list
(Check)
Broken promises
(Check)
How you always told me you loved me right after every kiss
(Check)
And you, you always talkin shit
On them other chicks
(Check)
And now it's obvious that we know who the real bitch is...
(My Favorite Part, Broken Chords Left on A, F, C, G, use lots of Chords on the Right Hand)

(Bridge here before the next part, this is really nice to play. Just jump on the chords alternatively one after another right after the Left Hand bounces up. See the video to watch what I mean here)

I read your diary
And it said
That you weren't in love with me
And you're leaving
And I wish that I didn't see
That you fell in love with him, him, him
But I read your diary
Oh Oh Oh
Your diary
Oh Oh Oh
Your Diary

Mood : Emo Mood + Happy Mood (Romantic)

Key : A Major

This is a very powerful song and it is certainly not easy to play by ear since there are two singers singing it. There are times when they both sing together, so you can try to play both voices or you can pick one that you like most. Or you can play parts of each. Your choice and creativity. To me, I freestyled.

Click HERE to view my version of you seriously want to learn it. You need to watch it while reading this tutorial or you won't understand.

Introduction
Personally, I don't like the introduction that much. Perhaps they can make it longer or put in some echo like the one in Airplanes. The entire song is in chords B, D, A, E, but play it according to the beat so that it won't be that boring. Right Hand plays the background music for the Intro.

Shawty's love is like a pyramid (ooh)
We stand together till the very end (eh ooh)
There'll never be another love for sure (ooh)
Iyaz and Charice let we go
(Iyaz part - play on the middle part of the piano to signify a lower voice. Start simple, not much chords, you can slowly build it later. Chords are B, D, A, E simple Left Hand)

Stones, heavy like the love you've shown (shown)
Solid as the ground we've known (known)
And I just wanna carry on
We took it from the bottom up (no no no)
(Left Hand starts to dance on Chords B, D, A, E. Right Hand plays Charice's part, one octave higher than Iyaz's)

And even in a desert storm (yeah)
Sturdy as a rock we hold (oh)
Wishing every moment froze
Now I just wanna let you know
(The Left Hand's beat becomes more apparent. Dance according to the beat on B, D, A, E. Right Hand richer on Chords)

Earthquakes can't shake us
Cyclones can't break us
Hurricanes can't take away our love
(Bold Left and Right Hand to bring up the momentum for Chorus)

Pyramid, we built this on a solid rock
It feels just like it's heaven's touch
Together at the top (at the top baby), like a pyramid
And even when the wind is blowing
We'll never fall just keep on going
Forever we will stay, like a pyramid
(Chorus - You can use Chords or you can use Octaves, your choice, I used Octaves to create a distinct difference between the normal parts and the Chorus)

Like a pyramid like a pyramid eh (ooh)
Like a pyramid like a pyramid eh (ooh)
Like a pyramid like a pyramid eh eh (oooh)
(Soft and Gentle)

Cold (cold), never ever when you're close (close)
We will never let it fold (fold)
A story that was never told
Something like a mystery (yoh! )
(Left Hand starts to dance on Chords B, D, A, E. Right Hand plays Charice's part, one octave higher than Iyaz's)

And every step we took we've grown
Look how fast the time has flown
A journey to a place unknown
(The Left Hand's beat becomes more apparent. Dance according to the beat on B, D, A, E. Right Hand richer on Chords - One Octave Lower, Iyaz's part)

We're going down in history
(One Octave Higher - Charice)

Earthquakes can't shake us (oh)
Cyclones can't break us (oh)
Hurricanes can't take away our love
(Bold Left and Right Hand to bring up the momentum for Chorus)

Pyramid, we built this on a solid rock (hey! )
It feels just like it's heaven's touch
Together at the top, (at the top baby) like a pyramid
And even when the wind is blowing (wind is blowing)
We'll never fall just keep it going (keep it going)
Forever we will stay, like a pyramid (eh oh)
(Chorus - You can use Chords or you can use Octaves, your choice, I used Octaves to create a distinct difference between the normal parts and the Chorus)

Like a pyramid girl let me show you
That I love you so much
That we gonna get through (oh oh)
Even when there's storms
I will never go, Ima be the one to keep you safe (hey)
Before was our love back it up more than enough
Holding on to one another be the cover when it's rough (oh oh)
Mother nature (hey) or disaster won't stop at happy ever after
(Iyaz's Part, there's a distinct difference between the first and second part in the Right Hand)

Here onwards, FREESTYLE all the way, coz both are singing together. Keep the chords B, D, A, E

Pyramid, keep it going (like a pyramid, like a pyramid)
Oh oh ooooh (like a pyramid, like a pyramid)

Pyramid, we built this on a solid rock (solid rock)
It feels just like it's heaven's touch (oooh)
Together at the top (at the top baby, at the top girl), like a pyramid
And even when the wind is blowing
We'll never fall just keep on going (keep it going)
Forever we will stay (Charice), like a pyramid (what what)

Pyramid, we built this on a solid rock
It feels just like it's heaven's touch
Together at the top (at the top baby, at the top girl), like a pyramid (pyramid)
And even when the wind is blowing
We'll never fall just keep it going
Forever we will stay (ooh), like a pyramid

Like a pyramid like a pyramid eh
Like a pyramid like a pyramid eh
Like a pyramid like a pyramid eh eh

Mood : Emo Mood + Happy Mood (Hope)

Key : A Major

This song contains quite a substantial amount of Rap parts, which means, during those parts, you play the background music rather than following the lyrics. I personally find the most attractive feature in this song is the background music where you can hear a bit of the piano. The introduction of the song is pretty cool too with those echoing effects which can't be imitated on the piano. To learn the intro, you need to listen really carefully to the first notes that are played rather than getting confused with the echo or trails. The entire song is on chords F#, D, A simple huh?

Click HERE to watch my version, I did not play the echo. Just the notes.

Introduction
Listen to the first notes carefully, don't play the echo unless you're really fast. I'm not that fast. Chords are F#, D, A. Use chords for the Right Hand.

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
(Left Hand dances on chord F#, D, A, if possible, shorter on D then jumps to A, like the actual song, it's not easy to do that. That means you play a very short D bass, then jumps to A. Right Hand plays the melody with chords)

Yeah
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you're staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back
But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel
And they sayin' what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
(The Rap Part, well, the first half of the rap part, the background is pretty simple, you just play the chords according to the drum beat of that part, while the second part has a very gentle piano as background played in tandem with the accompaniment of the song. The notes for this piano part are:

A, A, G#, G#, C#, E, F#, C# then A, A, B, B, C#, C#, B, A) - octaves

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
(Left Hand dances on chord F#, D, A, if possible, shorter on D then jumps to A, like the actual song, it's not easy to do that. That means you play a very short D bass, then jumps to A. Right Hand plays the melody with chords)

Somebody take me back to the days
Before this was a job, before I got paid
Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Yeah back when I was tryin' to get into the subway
And back when I was rappin' for the hell of it
But now a days we rappin' to stay relevant
I'm guessin that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes
Then maybe yo maybe I'll go back to the days
Before the politics that we call the rap game
And back when ain't nobody listened to my mix tape
And back before I tried to cover up my slang
But this is for the Cada, what's up Bobby Ray
So can I get a wish to end the politics
And get back to the music that started this sh-t
So here I stand and then again I say
I'm hopin' we can make some wishes outta airplanes
(The Rap Part, well, the first half of the rap part, the background is pretty simple, you just play the chords according to the drum beat of that part, while the second part has a very gentle piano as background played in tandem with the accompaniment of the song. The notes for this piano part are:

A, A, G#, G#, C#, E, F#, C# then A, A, B, B, C#, C#, B, A) - octaves

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
(A little Mixed up here, you just Freestyle!)

Mood : Emo Mood + Happy Mood (Romantic)

Key : Bb Major

This song reminds me of a place I used to hang out a lot. There used to be a time when I often cycle from Brooklyn to Coney Island. Even nowadays, when I play Grand Theft Auto on PS3, it reminds me of this place called Brooklyn. I like the beat, I like the background music, therefore, I play this song. Apparently, the song that I played before this song was Empire State of Mind.... You know what I mean?

Anyway, this song is really easy to play. You'll need to figure out the right hand yourself, if you wanna know how, just read my previous posts. If you can follow the songs, you'll be able to play any song you hear, even noise. Imagine someone farts and you play it. How nice...

Please click HERE to watch the video while reading this tutorial to learn it. God Bless You. There's no introduction to the song, the melody starts as the intro. Entire song plays on chords Bb, Eb, C, F, it is THAT SIMPLE!

She was covered in leather and gold
Twenty one years old
I lost her in the cold
It’s unfair, she’s out there
(Left Hand on simple octaves, just dance according to the beat, even better if you can play that background effect on high notes, listen to the actual song and you'll know what I mean. Chords are Bb, Eb, C, F)

Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
She’s somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
(Left Hand jumps according to the beat on Bold Chords Bb, Eb, C, F)

Little miss perfect sitting at the train stop
Red nike high tops listening to hip-hop
While we were waiting started conversating
Before I got her name along came a train
(Here you Left Hand needs to dance according to the beat rather than just jumping. Notice the changes of your Left Hand progressions? This style is meant to build up the momentum of the song, same chords, Bb, Eb, C, F)

(uuuuuuuh) next stop Brooklyn
(uuuuuuuh) now I’m lookin’
(Here your Left Hand turns very graceful and smooth. Right Hand goes one octave lower to play the background, then jumps back up to play the Melody)

She was covered in leather and gold
Twenty one years old
I lost her in the cold
It’s unfair, she’s out there
(Back to original beat, jumping Octaves on Bb, Eb, C, F)

Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
She’s somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
(Rich Chords on Bb, Eb, C, F)

On the street kickin rocks circling the same block
Green farm flatbush checking every corner shop
Tappin’ people’s shoulders askin if they know her
Everyday’s the same back to the train
(Dance according to the beat, like before)

(uuuuuuuh) next stop Brooklyn
(uuuuuuuh) I'm still lookin’
(Here your Left Hand turns very graceful and smooth. Right Hand goes one octave lower to play the background, then jumps back up to play the Melody)

She was covered in leather and gold
21 years old
I lost her in the cold
It’s unfair, she’s out there
(Third time playing this, make your Left Hand much richer, watch my video to understand what I'm talking about here)

Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
She’s somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
(Rich Chords! Then Pause)

Oh-oh-oh-oh
I wonder if we’ll ever meet again
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I wonder we we’ll ever meet again
Yeah I wonder if we’ll meet again
I hope we do somewhere in Brooklyn
(Really Smooth Left Hand here, but Right Hand you need to play both Background and Melody, background is like the Choir behind)

Okay... You can't see my fingers in this video. That was how my videos were originally recorded until people asked me to make video tutorials which I can't really make without anyone standing directly above me holding the video camera. That's the reason I place my camera as how I place it now.

Click HERE for the video

Introduction
Chords D, G, B, G then D, G, B, A for Left Hand, while Right Hand plays the background according to the chords within the Key itself.

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
(Left Hand replaces the notes that were being played by Right Hand previously, Right Hand now plays the Melody)

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
(Left Hand replaces the notes that were being played by Right Hand previously, Right Hand now plays the Melody. Richer and Bolder using lower notes for Left Hand)

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
(Chords changed to G, A, B, D, then G, A, B, back to G, A, to D)

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
(Chorus! D, A, B, G, A, back to D are the chords)

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
(Really bold, similar to intro chords)

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said
(Chords changed to G, A, B, D, then G, A, B, back to G, A, to D)

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
(Chorus! D, A, B, G, A, back to D are the chords)

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh
(Chorus! D, A, B, G, A, back to D are the chords)

Bridge!!! (D, A, B, G, A, then....)

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
(Really soft really gentle on B, G, D, A, then back to B, G, D, A)

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
(Build the momentum again!!!)

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes
(Change to E Major)

Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
(Ending similar to parts of the bridge)

Key : C Minor

This is one of my favorite songs to play. Be prepared to play parts for 3 hands with 2 hands. LoLz..... Enjoy!

Click HERE for the video. You'll need it, trust me.

Introduction - The introduction will give you the idea of what you need to play during chorus part with your additional virtual hand where Melody and Accompaniment comes out together.

Chords are C, Ab, Eb, Bb (The usual ones). Right Hand plays Eb, Eb, C, C, Ab, Ab, Ab, Bb, Bb, Bb, G, G, G, G, F, F, F, F, F, F then again Eb, Eb, C, C, Ab, Ab, Ab, Bb, Bb, Bb, G, G, G, G, Bb, Bb, Bb, Bb, Bb, Bb

[Akon]
When I see you
I run out of words to say (oh oh)
I wouldn't leave you
'Cause you're that type of girl to make me stay (oh oh)
(Keep your Left Hand simple here, just play octaves on chords C, Ab, Eb, Bb)

I see the guys tryna' holla
Girl I don't wanna bother you
'Cause you're independent and you got my attention
Can I be your baby father
Girl I just wanna show you
That I love what you are doin' hun
(You may add a little depth and beat to both Left and Right hands here, same chords C, Ab, Eb, Bb)

I see you in the club
You gettin' down good
I wanna get with you, yeah
I see you in the club
You showin' thugs love
I wanna get with you
(This is where the headache comes in, use the three back fingers of your Right Hand to play the Melody and your THUMB to play the Background as in the Introduction - You really need to watch the video here)

You're so beautiful
So damn beautiful
Said you're so beautiful
So damn beautiful
(The Intro Background gets easier here as you can play the background music with more fingers rather than just your THUMB, after You're so beautiful, you can play the background, but So Damn Beautiful you gotta mix them up)

[Akon & Colby O'Donis]
You're so beautiful
beautiful
beautiful
beautiful
You're so beautiful
beautiful
beautiful
beautiful
You're so beautiful
(The trick in this part lies in your Left Hand, listen to the Strings part carefully and play it with your left hand, gets richer as it reaches the 2nd Half)

[Colby O'Donis]
Like the clouds you
Drift me away, far away (yeah)
And like the sun you
Brighten my day, you brighten my day (yeah)
I never wanna see you cry cry cry
And I never wanna tell a lie lie lie
Said I never wanna see you cry cry cry
And I never wanna tell a lie lie lie
(You may add a little depth and beat to both Left and Right hands here, same chords C, Ab, Eb, Bb)

[Akon]
I see you in the club
You gettin' down good
I wanna get with you, yeah
I see you in the club
You showin' thugs love

(The Intro Background gets easier here as you can play the background music with more fingers rather than just your THUMB, after You're so beautiful, you can play the background, but So Damn Beautiful you gotta mix them up)

[Akon & Colby O'Donis]
You're so beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
You're so beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
(The trick in this part lies in your Left Hand, listen to the Strings part carefully and play it with your left hand, gets richer as it reaches the 2nd Half)

[Kardinal Offishall]
Kardinal told you
Whether the sky blue or yellow
This fella ain't that mellow
If it ain't about you (you)
Hourglass shape make the place go (ooohhh)
Waistline makes my soldier salute
I'mma brute (brute)
High from your high heel game
High heels push up ya ass last name
And you livin' in the fast lane
Eyes like an angel (goddess)
Watch my yellin' as she undress
Spotless (otless) bad to the bone
Make me wanna go put me in the triple X zone (zone)
Lames don't know how to talk to you
So let me walk with you, hold my hand
I'mma spend them grands, but after you undress
Not like a hooker, but more like a princess
Queen, empress, president
Pull any way ya got my love
'Cause your beautiful (okay??)
(This is a rap part, just play around with the chords)

[Akon]
I see you in the club
You gettin' down good
I wanna get with you (ohh yeah)
I see you in the club
You showin' thugs love
I wanna get with you
(This is where the headache comes in, you should be ok by now, use the three back fingers of your Right Hand to play the Melody and your THUMB to play the Background as in the Introduction - You really need to watch the video here)

You're so beautiful
So damn beautiful
Said you're so beautiful (so beautiful)
So damn beautiful (so beautiful)

[Akon]
Where'd you come from you're outta this world
To me (ohh ohh)
You're a symbol of what every beautiful woman should be (oooh wee) (ohh ohh)
(You may add a little depth and beat to both Left and Right hands here, same chords C, Ab, Eb, Bb)

[Colby O'Donis]
I never wanna see you cry cry cry (don't cry)
And I never wanna tell a lie lie lie (oh yeah)
Said I never wanna see you cry cry cry (ohhhh)
And I never wanna tell a lie lie lie (lieee)

Mood : Emo Mood + Clubbing Mood + Playful Mood

Key : D Minor

One of my best friend's, Roger Lee's, favorite song in the past. Also one of my favorite clubbing hits. We used hit the gym almost everyday. The song was played before we hit the gym.

Click HERE to view the video while reading the tutorial if you want to learn this song.

Introduction
Left Hand plays the background as well as the Bass on octave D, E, F then Bb, C, back to D
Right Hand plays the high background music created by a synthesizer starting with A, G, A, G, C then F to D via E real fast. After that, hit F, A and E, G one after another. Watch the video.

I like girls
They like me
They look so good
In they seven jeans
(Left Hand similar to Intro according to the beat, chords are D, E, F, then Bb, C, back to D)

Want you to be the one
And my only
I want to be faithful
But I cant keep my hands out the cookie jar
(Left Hand similar to Intro according to the beat, chords are D, E, F, then Bb, C, back to D)

My hands, my hands, my ha uh my hands
Cant keep my hands, my hands, my, uh, my
Cant keep my hands, my hands, my, uh, my
Cant keep my hands, my hands, my hands out the cookie jar
(Left Hand dances on the beat according to the music on chords D, Bb back to D alternatively)

You see I got this problem
I need help tryna solve it
Cause meeting after meeting and Im still a cookie whore
You can hide them, I'mma find them, on the counter, in the closet
And Ill say I ain?t do it with my face covered in chocolate

My girl be setting booby traps
To catch me eating Scooby snacks
I left crumbs in the bed once
But I told her I was through with that

She still dont be believing me
And I guess that Im cool with that
But I got a sweet tooth, thatll never come loose
And the truth of the matter is

I got a thing for Milano, Biscotti Italianos
And I never turn down some Oreos if you got them
Butter Pecan Puerto Rican
Or them Oatmeal Raisin Asians
Hazelnut Brazilians, Macadamia Caucasians,

Double stuffed or thin mint
It dont matter you getting it
Cause I got a sweet tooth that?ll never come loose
And the fact of the matter is
