Lyrics

Some saw the (Bm7)sun,

some saw the (A)smoke,

some heard the (B)gun,

some some bent (B)the (Em)bow.

Some times the (Am6)wire

must (B)tense for the (Em7)note.

Caught in the (B7)fire,

Lord,

say (Am)oh,

we’re a (D)bout

to ex (A)plode.

Car ry your world,

car ry your world.

Car ry your world,

car ry your world.

Some far a (A)way,

some search for (B)gold,

some drag on (B)to (Em)slay.

Heav en, we (Am6)hope,

is (B)just up the (Em7)road.

Show me the (B7)way.

Lord,

’cause (Am)I,

I’m a (D)bout

to ex (A)plode.

Car ry your world,

car ry your world.

Car ry your world,

car ry your world.

Car ry your world,

and all your hurt.

Atlas by Coldplay — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Atlas” by Coldplay 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 C at 138 BPM, a comfortable easy-level arrangement perfect for first-time learners.

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.
