American Baby intro piano

Topics about musical instruments other than guitar should go here. There's bound to be a Carter, LeRoi, or Yo-Yo Ma out there.

E D E F# G A G A B D E

You can figure out the rhythm, and it goes upwards (last D and E are an octave higher than the first D and E). Sounds like shit on the piano though.

For whoever wanted the chords originally, I'm guessing you tried that F# chord and it sounded horrible. That's because the right chord is D/F#.

How you voice the chords on the piano is also going to make a huge difference.
