突然好想你 by 五月天
This song by May Day is in D.
I started the illustration with the Bridge because this way I can follow the original song to the end by doing a short video while still covering the Verse and Chorus, which are repeated after the Bridge.
Part 1 is the Bridge, Part 2 is the Chorus, and Part 3 is the Verse.
These are the “cheat” chords I played…
Part 1: D - A/C# - Bm7 - F#m7 - G - Gm - G/A - A - G/A - A
Part 2a: GM7 - A/G - F#m7 - Bm7 - Em7 - G/A - D (- D/C - Bm7 - C/A - D/F#)
Part 2b: GM7 - A/G - F#m7 - Dm/F - Em7 - G/A - Gm - D
Part 3a: D - A/C# - F#/A# - Bm7 - Bm7/A - G - D/F# - Em7 - G/A
Part 3b: GM7 - A/G - F#m7 - Bm7 - Em7 - G/A - D (- A/C# - D - Em7 - D/F# - G - D/F#)
Part 3c: GM7 - A/G - F#m7 - Bm7 - Em7 - G/A
Ending: D - A/C# - F#/A# - Bm7 - Bm7/A - Gm - G/A - D(add2)

This song by Every Avenue is in E.
You would notice that there are more movements of the right hand for Part 1a and Part 1b, and the other way round for the other parts.
These are the “cheat” chords I played…
Part 1a: E - B4 - F#m7 - A2
Part 1b: E - B4 - F#m7 - E/G# - A2
Part 1c: E - B4 - F#m7
Part 1d: E - B4 - C#m7
Part 2a: A2 - B4 - C#m7 - A2
Part 2b: A2 - E - B4 - A2/C# - B/D#
Part 2c: A2 - E - C#m7 - B4 - A2
Part 2d: A2 - E - B4 - B4
Part 3a: C#m7 - B/D# - E4 - E/G#
Part 3b: C#m7 - B/D# - E4 - E
Note that in the video, I did not play E4 in Part 3b. That was a mistake on my part. Hehe. It should sound better if you play E4.
