I'm loving how Google is celebrating the occasion - go on - go have a strum...

Dammit! Now I know what the notes are, I'm going to be stuck for ages trying to find songs I know that fit in with the key and the range!

Polyphonic version, played with two hands. Notes appearing one under the other are played simultaneously.

Code: Select all

iuuuu--yuuuu---yuu-u-i-u-o-u-iuuuu--yuuuu---yuu-u-i-u-o-u
