I need some dis (Am7)trac tion,

oh es (C)beau ti ful re lease.

It’s (G)Mem o ries seep from my (D)veins.

Let me be (Am7)emp ty,

oh and (C)weight less and may be I’ll (G)find some (C)peace to (D)night

in the (G)arms

of an an gel.

Fly a (Bm)way

from here,

from this (C)dark,

cold ho tel room

and the (G)end less (Em)ness that you (D)fear.

You’re so tired of the (G)here.

Angel by Sarah McLachlan — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Angel by Sarah McLachlan in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of G at 110 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
