Note: The chords in this section are more or less just variations on the C
pentatonic scale (C-Eb-F-G-Bb).
If you play the melody with the two or three notes in this scale right
underneath ir, it should sound fine.
For example, a 'Bb' chord should be (Eb F G Bb), an 'Eb' should be (F G Bb
Eb), etc.
For your ease, I've written the notes in bold that are the melody in this
section - these are NOT the chords.
