"Keong Racun" (Poison Snail) is a contemporary Indonesian folk-pop song that gained massive viral popularity on social media platforms such as TikTok.

To sound like a pro, add chords with your left hand (if you have a chord pianika or use the bass keys):
Simpler left-hand trick: Just press the root note of the chord on the bass side.
Since the pianika requires blowing, mark breath points (') in the score:
5 6 5 3 | 2 1 2 3 - ' | 5 6 5 3 | 2 1 2 1 - ' |
This part is played low to mid-range:
1 2 3 4 | 5 5 5 5 | 3 3 3 3 | 1 1 1 1
