Button-Accordion Notation (for beginners who know the melody)
Although you may be a "beginner" on the button accordion, you already know lots of tunes, perhaps including the English/American folk song For He's a Jolly Good Fellow. If so, you already have a sense of how long to hold each treble note, and where to put the emphasis. You just need to get use to it on the button accordion.

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! |
