Lyrics

We’re leav ing to geth er,

but still it’s fare well.

And may be we’ll come back

to (Db)earth; who can (Gb)tell?

(Cbmaj7)I guess there is (Db)no one to blame.

We’re (Db)leav ing (Ebm)ground.

Will things ev er (Bbm7)be the same a gain?

It’s the fi nal (Ebm)count down.

(The (Bb7#5)fi nal (Ebm11)count down.)

(T mi nus five, four, three, We’re two, ed for one, nus, ze ro.)

and (Ebm7)still we stand tall.

And (Ebm7)may be they’ve (Ebm)seen us,

and (Db)wel come us (Gb)all.

With so man y (Db)light years to go

and (Db)things to be (Ebm)found,

I’m sure that (Gbmaj7)we’ll all miss her so.

It’s the fi nal (Ebm)count down.

The (Ddim)fi nal (Ebm)count down.

It’s the (C7)fi nal (Fm)count down.

It’s the (Bb)fi (C)nal (Fm)count down.

The (C7)fi nal (Fm)count down.

We’re leav ing to (Bbm)geth er.

The (C)fi nal (Fm)count down.

We’ll all miss her (Bbm7)so.

The fi nal (Eb)count (Fm)down.

Final Countdown by Europe — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Final Countdown” by Europe 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 Ab at 120 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.
