Play them as arpeggios, and that's all there really is to it. Listen to the song for timing.


Lyrics:

My friend, sits at the drum
His magic hand feels nothing but time
Nothing but time

My only friend sits at the drum
His magic mind doesn't feel anything
American flag is behind
If I could stand to be less difficult

My new friend, plays drums all the time
Her magic heart feels everything
She plays the difficult parts and I play difficult

She goes,
Shoo
Shoo ba-doo
Shoo ba-doo
Shoo ba-doo-ba-doo
Ba-doo

We go,
Shoo
Shoo ba-doo
Shoo ba-doo
Shoo ba-doo-ba-doo
