Lyrics

(C)Ah,

look at all the lone ly (Em)peo ple!

(C)Ah,

look at all the lone ly (Em)peo ple!

El ea nor Rig by picks up the rice in the church where a wed ding has been;

lives in a dream.

Waits at the win dow, wear ing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door;

who is it for?

(Em7)All the lone ly (Em6)peo ple,

where (C)do they all come (Em)from?

(Em7)All the lone ly (Em6)peo ple,

where (C)do they all be (Em)long?

Fa ther Mc Ken zie, writ ing the words of a ser mon that no one will hear;

no one comes near.

Look at him work ing, darn ing his socks in the night when there’s no bod y there;

what does he care?

(Em7)All the lone ly (Em6)peo ple,

where (C)do they all come (Em)from?

(Em7)All the lone ly (Em6)peo ple,

where (C)do they all be (Em)long?

(Em)long?

(Em)long?

Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles 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 E at 112 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.
