Back in 2006 my friend, Cmajor13 in the zone, shared some smooth jazz chords with us. It's a nice ballad. The numbers that are on the side of the notes are the number of beats the chord gets.
B/ADE ... 1-2
E/AbCDF... 1-2
A/GBCE... 1-2
G/FABbD... 1
C/EABbC... 1
B/ADE... 1-2
E/AbCDF... 1-2
B, A, B, C, D... this is a melody line that you can do with both hands.
