If I Were a Rich Man - Accordion Tutorial

When playing this song, you want people to tap their feet to your "oom-pa" rhythm. Make sure the rhythm is well-defined, clean, and strong! Practice just the left hand until the rhythm is perfect!

I'm really enjoying this tutorial, but can't make out all of the notes. Can you fill me in on what I'm missing? Just working on the right hand so far. This is what I have.
