Sir Funky !!

Very nice feeling!!!!!!!!!! Best cover here in youtube, congratulations.

Hugozadinho- this is my version, no sheet music for it, but if you listen and watch and practice the way I do it, you can get it. You just gotta get your time strong so you can get funky with the left hand while playing melody with the right. I use the thumbs of both hands to sort of emulate a third hand in the middle at times, kind of gives the piano more sound that way.

Here's the chords I use to play that tune, not much different than Bob Marley's version, maybe a few jazz progressions thrown in.

Basic:

Gm | Cm D7 | repeat until just before bridge, then do a 2-5 into Eb like this:

Gm | Cm D7 | Fm7 Bb7 |

EbMaj7 | Dm7 | Gm7 | Gm7 (or sub a C7 ) |

repeat

For the "I Shot The Sheriff" lick, the right hand plays it same as Marley starting on G, but the left hand is contrary. It starts on G as well and goes:

G Ab Bb C D Eb F G Ab (holds on Ab in left)
