Lyrics

Here comes the sun, doo da doo doo,

Here comes the sun, and I say "It's all right."

Lit tle dar ling, it’s been a long cold, lone ly win ter;

lit tle dar ling, it feels like years since it’s been here.

Here comes the sun,

Here comes the sun and I say "It's all right."

Lit tle dar ling, the smiles re turn ing to their fac es;

lit tle dar ling, it feels like years since it’s been here.

Here comes the sun,

Here comes the sun and I say "It's all right."

(C)Sun, (G)sun, (D)sun, here it (A)comes.

(C)Sun, (G)sun, (D)sun, here it (A)comes.

Here comes the sun,

Here comes the sun,

It's all right,

It's all right.

Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles β€” Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows β€œHere Comes The Sun” by The Beatles in our color-coded kid songbook view β€” 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 A at 120 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 β€” 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 get comfortable with extended chords β€” those Dmaj7 and Dmaj9 shapes sound lush but sit nicely under your fingers once you find them a few times slowly. Your left hand carries an oompah bass pattern throughout, so lock that in at around 80 BPM before you add the right hand; once that feel is automatic, the whole song opens up. Watch the transition from E7 to Esus4 β€” resist the urge to rush it, because that suspension needs a breath to land properly. The move into B7 and Bm7 can also trip you up if you're not anticipating the shift, so loop those two bars until they're effortless. When you bring it up to full tempo at 120 BPM, keep your wrists relaxed and let the happy, bright key of A do the emotional work for you. This is the song that'll make extended major chords feel like old friends.
