Before we dive into the numbers, let’s clarify the symbols:
Since Keong Racun is fast, most notes are eighth notes (one line underneath) or quarter notes (no line).
To sound like a pro, add chords with your left hand (if you have a chord pianika or use the bass keys):
Simpler left-hand trick: Just press the root note of the chord on the bass side.
(Intro) 5 5 5 5 | 6 5 3 2 | 3 - - - |
(Lyrics: Aku kecewa...) 5 5 5 5 | 6 5 3 2 | 3 5 6 5 | 3 2 1 - |
(Lyrics: Kau permainkan...) 1 1 1 1 | 2 1 6. 5. | 6. 1 2 1 | 6. - - - |
Intro / Verse fill: 3 3 5 6 5 3 2 1 2Chorus (Main Theme): 5 6 5 3 2 1 2 3 - 5 6 5 3 2 1 2 1 -
Repeat: 5 6 5 3 2 1 2 3 - 5 6 5 3 2 1 2 1 -
This part goes slightly higher. Breathe from your diaphragm to keep the notes clear.
