A,B,C,D, 4th note so we go down a notch on our left hand and play B flat and again you have root chord, 5th chord, root chord, 5th chord, root chord, 5th chord. So don't worry about all of these writing you see that a lot in accordion playing but usually they just write the chord out for you so just play the written chord and don't worry about it. Then our melody here starts we have 1,2,3,4,5,6 so we have 6 to flat 6 to 5 and then we have 3 and then back up to 6 to flat 6 to 5. Then you have a natural 4 here. So we have our 4 chord in our right hand and we start on 6. So again we have 6,6 down to 5, and then we go on to our next 2 measures of accordion love of blues. "
