Play only the root on the first beat of each change: Bb (bar 1, Bb), Eb (bar 2, Eb), F (bar 3, F7), Bb (bar 4, Bb), G (bar 5, Gm), C (bar 6, Cm), F (bar 7, F7), Bb (bar 8, Bb). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to Bb.
When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: D over Bb, G over Eb, A over F7, Bb over Gm, Eb over Cm. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
