We will now attempt to play Lightly Row with the right hand playing the melody and the left hand playing broken chords.
Let's place both your hands on the keyboard first.
If you like to space them out, it is also ok. Like this...

Most importantly, use your ears to judge. If it sounds good or fine, it is probably right.
This is the complete score of Lightly Row, with both melody (Right Hand) and chords (Left Hand).
To play with two hands, your left hand chord is played together with the right hand note where the chord is written directly above the note.
Confused? Let's zoom in to just the first 2 bars.
Look at bar 1, the first note on the right hand is a G note. On top of the G note, there is a C chord. This means you should play the C chord using your left hand, while you play the G note on your right hand.
Likewise, for bar 2 the first note on the right hand is a F note. On top of the F note, there is a G chord. This means you should play the G chord using your left hand, while you play the F note on your right hand. Like this...
