On the second chord, and many after, there's something that looks kind of like grace notes. On the recording I have of the song, it sounds like an arpeggio, if that helps. However, I couldn't see why they'd use that, because they could've just used the regular arpeggio notation from the first chord.

Does anyone know what this is?

I believe those may be "rolled chord" markings... :think:

No, cos they have some arppegio lines marked properly. :mellow:

Are you sure this piece is for piano? Cos I have seen these markings in accordeon music, but I'm not quite sure.

SilverHawk, it would be helpful if you told us which website you got this from...

I thought he was talking of the markings on the left hand chords in measure 2-5

And yes, it's definitely for piano.

Thanks guys, for the help so far! :)

Just listened to the recording, and it sounds just like regular chords :huh: .

EDIT: Sorry, didn't listen to the piano recording. Those are definitely rolled chords.

Hmm...okay.

I'm still kind of confused as to why they would write it that way, but whatever. :P

Thanks for your help! :lol:
