Lyrics

I ain’t (Em)hap py, I’m feel ing glad.

I got sun shine in a bag.

I’m use less, but not for long.

The fu ture is (F)com ing on.

I ain’t (Em)hap py, I’m feel ing glad.

I got sun shine in a bag.

I’m use less, but not for long.

The fu ture is (F)com ing on, is (Em)com ing on, is com ing on, is com ing on, is com ing on, is...

I ain’t (Em)hap py, I’m feel ing glad.

I got sun shine in a bag.

I’m use less, but not for long.

The fu ture is (F)com ing on.

I ain’t (Em)hap py, I’m feel ing glad.

I got sun shine in a bag.

I’m use less, but not for long.

My fu ture is (F)com ing on, is (Em)com ing on, is com ing on, is com ing on, is (CN.C.)com ing on.

My (Em)fu ture is com ing on, is com ing on, is com ing on.

My fu ture is com ing on, is com ing on, is (F)com ing on.

My (Em)fu ture.

Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz 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 90 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.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to lock in your left-hand oompah pattern — that steady bass-note-then-chord bounce that gives the groove its swagger at 90 BPM. You're working with just three chords — C, Em, and F — so the shapes are friendly, but watch the Em-to-F transition closely: it's only a half step in the root, and rushing it is the number-one spot where students stumble. Start hands-separate, getting your left hand's oompah rhythm completely automatic before adding the right-hand melody on top. Once you combine hands, loop that Em–F moment at half tempo until it feels boring, then bring it back up to speed. Keep your wrist relaxed through the repetitive bass pattern; tension will creep in if you're not careful. By the end of this one, you'll have a rock-solid oompah feel you can carry into dozens of other pop-rock tunes.
