Piano Chords to 'The Future'?

Hi, I was wondering does anyone on the forums know the piano chords to The Future from the Batman album?

The sheet music says Gm11 from start to finish.

Yeah, it's only one chord. There are no chords, there is only chord.

If you're a musician, you should be able to figure that out yourself, by ear.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

You'll need to be actually hitting the piano at least as much as playing that Gm/Gm11 chord if you want to play that song smile

Friends don't let friends clap on 1 and 3.

Speaking of which, is anybody else hearing a sample of an empty pop can being squeezed in the rhythm track on this one?

The truth isn't toxic unless you don't like it. Seems I've hit a nerve.

It's not even a logical barb, dudebro's username isn't VladimirHorowitzJr, he doesn't have his musicology degree from Julliard hanging in his avatar.... From what I gleaned he may very well have a starter keyboard in his Prime cart locked & loaded for that check-out button-mash once the stimulus check hits the direct deposit. Homeboy just wants to get play along to something.... even the great you probably once upon a time started with primary-school hair-tugging and spitballs before you graduated to full-on BartVonHammerstein doppelganger status. Every story has its beginning.

Yes, "the truth" is simply a fact, and a fact in-and-of-itself can't be toxic. But if your purpose for bringing up a fact is to belittle someone, then your purpose is toxic.

For example, let's say a person is overweight. That's the truth/a fact. But if you call that person fat with the intention of making them feel bad about themselves / to build yourself up, then you're being toxic.


Maybe the person who posted the question isn't a musician, or they're a novice musician. So what? Why is that bad? Why do they deserve to be insulted?

What is your goal or intent in pointing out a good musician could figure it out for themselves? Clearly you wanted to insult the person.


You seem to be a very intellgent person and I've learned a lot from reading your posts. I mostly value your contributions to the Org. But you can sometimes be cruel. And that I don't respect at all.

In my professional opinion, as a music instructor, this is a douche comment.

You hit the nerve where people are repelled by toxic jerks.
