This song is in D.
I guess it’s time to let readers know again, that, I have decided at one stage that I would not post the chords or progressions for every song, as I am not sure how many people actually want those details. However, should anyone want the chords or progressions for any song, please do request from me. I will send them to your email.

I have also simplified this as much as possible so that one needs only use some simple chords on the right hand to play this song. Btw, this is one of the theme songs for Beijing Olympics 2008.
Here is the video illustration…
First, let’s go to the verse (which is played twice). The progression goes like this…
1st line: I –> IIm7 –> I/3 –> IV –> IV/5
2nd line: I –> IIm7 –> I/3
3rd line: IV –> I/3 –> IIm7 –> I –> IV/7b –> IV/5
The song is actually in C#. To make it easier to learn and to play, I have transposed it down to C. So, in the key of C, the above 3 lines in the verse are translated into…
1st line: C –> Dm7 –> C/E –> F –> F/G
2nd line: C –> Dm7 –> C/E
3rd line: F –> C/E –> Dm7 –> C –> F/Bb –> F/G
The Dm7 can of course be played as F/D (See “The 3 Minor Chords” post to find out how that is possible), i.e., F chord (right hand) with a D bass note (left hand). Therefore, the above 3 lines are made up completely of 2 chords: C chord and F chord on the right hand.
The bass notes’ patterns should be obvious above, i.e., in the 1st line and 2nd line, the bass notes climb up the scale, whereas in the 3rd line, it climbs down.
The chorus also has 3 lines. This is how they go…
1st line: I –> V/7 –> VIm7
2nd line: VIm7 –> VIm7/5 –> VIm7/4
3rd line: VIm7 –> IVm6/6b –> I/5 –> II/4# –> IV –> IV/5 –> I
In the C key, these are translated into:
1st line: C –> G/B –> Am7
2nd line: Am7 –> Am7/G –> Am7/F
3rd line: Am7 –> Fm6/Ab –> C/G –> D/F# –> F –> F/G –> C
Again, from “The 3 Minor Chords” post, we know that Am7 can be improvised by C/A, i.e., C chord (right hand) with an A bass note (left hand). So, for the first 2 lines, all that you need are 2 chords: C chord and G chord.
For the 3rd line, however, there are Fm6 and D chords to take care of. To simplify matter, do this:
– For Fm6 chord, on the right hand, just play D note and F note, when your left hand plays Ab note.
– And for D chord, on the right hand, just play D note and A note, when you left hand plays F# note.
I hope that is simple enough.
