Lyrics

Tak ing to the floor with the wheel to the sky, I (F5)loos en my tie, I (C)loos en my tie.

Lock ing down the door with the rhy thm and rhyme, I (F5)loos en my tie, I (C)loos en my tie.

Try ing to re call what you want me to say, I a (F5)shake it your way, I a (C)shake it your way.

Count ing on the night for a beau ti ful day, I (F5)shake it your way, I (C)shake it your way.

And I say (D5)you can’t get e nough.

Now, (D5)you can’t get e nough.

Giv en the chance,

I’m gon na be

some (A)bod y.

If for one dance,

I’m gon na be

some (Bm)bod y.

O pen the door,

who’s gon na make

you (A)love me?

Fac ing the floor,

I’m gon na be

some (Bm)bod y.

Now

Be

some bod y.

(D)Be

some (Bm)bod y.

Be Somebody by Kings Of Leon — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Be Somebody” by Kings Of Leon 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 140 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.
