I Put A Spell On You by Creedence Clearwater Revival — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “I Put A Spell On You” by Creedence Clearwater Revival 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 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.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great workout for navigating a wide chord palette — eight chords means your left hand rarely stays in one position for long, so start hands-separate and really map out those transitions before combining. Pay special attention to the move into Fmaj7; it's the most colorful shape here, and rushing into it usually causes a stumble. Let your thumb find that E on top cleanly before your other fingers settle. The B7 is another one to isolate — make sure that D♯ speaks clearly, because it drives the tension back toward Em. At 120 BPM the tempo is steady but pushy, so practice the full progression at around 85 BPM first and only speed up once your chord changes feel automatic, not reactive. Loop any four-bar section that trips you up at least ten times before moving on. Rock feel here means keeping your rhythm confident and slightly heavy on the downbeats — don't let it turn floaty. This is the kind of song that genuinely builds your confidence with chromatic chord moves and quick position shifts, skills that'll pay off in almost everything you play next.
