(Dm)When she was just a (Bb)girl,

(F)she ex pec ted the (C)world.

But it (Dm)flew a way from her (Bb)reach.

So she (F)ran a way in her (C)sleep

and dreamed of (Gm)pa ra pa ra pa ra dise, (F)pa ra pa ra pa ra dise, (Gm)pa ra pa ra pa ra dise (F)ev ’ry time she closed her eyes.

(Gm)Life goes on, (Bb)it gets so heav y, the (F)wheel breaks (C)the but ter fly.

(Bb)Ev ’ry tear, (F)a wa ter fall.

In the (Bb)night, the storm y (F)night, she’ll close her (C)eyes.

In the (Bb)night, the storm y (F)night, a way she’d fly.

Paradise by George Ezra — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Paradise” by George Ezra 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 Bb at 140 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

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.
