(Bb)As a (Cm7)mat ter of o (F)pin ion I (Cm7)think he’s (F)tops, (Cm7)my o pin ion (F)is he’s the (Bb)cream of the crop; as a (Gm)mat ter of (Dm)taste, to (Gm)be ex (Dm)act, (C7)he’s my i deal as a (F7)mat ter of fact.

No (Bb)mus cle bound man could take my hand from my guy.

This page shows “My Guy” by Mary Wells 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 slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

  • 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.
