So, now we're going to take a look at our next two measures and we have some nice melodic movement going here. We have three, two, one, seven, four, three, five, four, five. So, three, two, one, seven, four, three, five, four, five. And that C minor chord we've already learned. F minor we've already learned.

And that comes out of B flat major which we didn't look up, but B flat major C, or no, that comes out of F major and we didn't look that up either. But, C seven, if you search for C seven or F major my first fake book that chord will come up and we'll play this now.
