This page shows “My Happy Ending” by Avril Lavigne 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 B at 100 BPM, a comfortable easy-level arrangement perfect for first-time learners.
This arrangement is a great way to build comfort with suspended chords in a real musical context — you'll move between shapes like Asus4, Dsus2, and Gsus2 alongside their resolved forms, which trains your fingers to lift or place just one note at a time. Your left hand keeps a steady block-bass pattern, so lock that in first at around 70 BPM before adding the right hand. At 100 BPM the tempo is moderate, but watch the transitions into Bm and Gmaj7 — both require a quick hand position shift that can trip you up mid-phrase. Loop those specific chord changes until they feel automatic. Despite the upbeat pop energy, the mood is genuinely sad, so resist the urge to rush; lean into a steady, even pulse and let the emotion come from the harmony. This is the piece that'll make sus-chord voicings second nature for you.
