Embedded youTube Videos
Nine videos in the keys: C=3 (played on inside row of a G-C accordion)
D=2 (played on inside row of an A-D accordion)
G=4 (played on outside row of a G-C accordion)
If you find any of these performances to be too fast, you can set the play-back speed to 75% or 50% (but not to the terrible-sounding 25%).

For he's a jolly good fellow, For he's a jolly good fellow For he's a jolly good fellow, And so say all of us. And so say all of us, And so say all of us For he's a jolly good fellow, And so say all of us! For he's a jolly good fellow, For he's a jolly good fellow For he's a jolly good fellow (pause), Which nobody can deny. Which nobody can deny, Which nobody can deny, For he's a jolly good fellow, Which nobody can deny! |
