Play only the root on the first beat of each change: G (bars 1–2, Gm7), C (bar 3, C7), D (bar 4, Dm7), G (bars 5–6, Gm7), C (bar 7, Cm7), D (bar 8, D7). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to G.
When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: Bb over Gm7, E over C7, F over Dm7, Eb over Cm7, F# over D7. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
