Millionaire by Chris Stapleton — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Millionaire” by Chris Stapleton 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 154 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 way to build your pedal-bass independence — your left hand will anchor on a single bass note (often Bb or F) while the right hand moves through chord changes above it, and keeping that left hand steady while your right hand shifts is the core skill here. In Eb major with just five chord shapes, the harmony is simple, but at 154 BPM the transitions between Eb, Bb, and F need to feel automatic, so start hands-separate at around 100 BPM and really lock in those right-hand chord shapes before you layer the left hand underneath. Watch the Bb-to-F pedal moments especially — students tend to rush those or accidentally lift the bass early. Once you can loop the verse pattern cleanly at tempo, the whole song clicks into place. This is the piece that'll make pedal-bass technique feel like second nature for you going forward.
