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