Lyrics

You can reach me by (Ebsus2)rail way, you can reach me by (Bb)trail way.

You can reach me on an (Cm11)air plane, you can (Cm7)reach me with your mind.

You can (Gm7)reach me by (Ebsus2)car a van, cross the des ert like an (Bb)A rab man.

I don’t care how you get here, just get here if you can.

You can reach me by (Ebsus2)sail boat, life, climb a tree and swing (Gm7)rope to rope.

Take a sled and slide in a (Cm7)big down bal loon slope but in to these arms of mine.

You can (Gm7)jump on a (Ebsus2)speed y colt, cross the bor der in a (Bb)blaze of hope.

I don’t care how you get here, just get here if you can.

There are (Ab)hills and moun tains be tween us, al ways some thing to (Dm7)get o ver.

If I (Gm)had my way, sure ly you would (Ebmaj9)be clos er.

(Cm11)I need you clo ser.

(Ebsus2)to my life, take me up on a (Gm7)car pet ride.

You can make it slide in a (Cm7)big down bal loon slope but you bet ter make it soon.

You can (Gm7)reach me by (Ebsus2)car a van, cross the des ert like an (Bb)a rab man.

I don’t care how you get here, just get here if you can.

There are (Ab)hills and moun tains be tween us, al ways some thing to (Dm7)get o ver.

If I (Gm)had my way, sure ly you would (Ebmaj9)be clos er.

(Cm11)I need you clo ser.

(Cm11)I need you clo ser.

You can wind surf in how you get here, just get here if you can.

I don’t care how you get here, just

(CN.C.)get here if

you can.

Get Here by Oleta Adams — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Get Here” by Oleta Adams 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 Eb at 120 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

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.
