I never expected that someone will ever upload a tutorial for this, thank you so much. Cat Stevens doesn't need more than one minute to create the most beautiful song ever written. Very well explained, understandable even for a guitarist :')

[@BitesizePiano]

One of my private students requested to learn this, so he was the inspiration to create the tutorial! I adore this song so much. Glad you've found it useful! :)

[@benjaminjones6586]

@@BitesizePiano Yes, this is great. I'm a guitarist also and the only songs I can play on piano are this and Your Song (also learned from one of your videos). Thanks for uploading these!

What is the 72nd chord?

[@kayasarp1427]

Thank you so much for this brilliant piece of art, I learned a lot from your tutorial and after a few weeks I am totally able to play this song while singing. Please make more Cat Stevens song, he is one of a kind who is still active from the generation that makes heavenly music 😊❤️

[@jasper.kennedy]

[@trumanhopper2493]

Are you able to link to the sheet music? That would be much appreciated!

[@BitesizePiano]

Hey! I figured this one out by ear - here is the link to one that also has the vocal melody-line www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0108564

Also, it must be pointed out that Cat Stevens songs are used brilliantly in "Harold and Maude," including "Tea for the Tillerman."

[@BitesizePiano]

yes of course!

[@philbateman1989]

Is it just me or is this song deceptively hard to play?

[@sergei_mikhailovich]

Agree. Seems way easier than it really is.

[@catherineburton2789]

Hey, do you have sheet music for this?

[@BitesizePiano]

Hey! I don't but I'm gradually producing more sheet music for many of my tutorials, so this should be available soon :)
