can the chords please be written in for the whole song 🙂
I think the placement of the chords is right for the piano part, but if you go with the guitar part, then I think it sounds good as A D A A, where you strum twice on each chord. So AA DD AA AA for each phrase. That sounds nice to me but the keyboard part is pretty much as written. I find it easier to go with the guitar rather than the piano when trying to sing along.
