She comes in co lours ev’ ry (Eb)where,

she combs her (Bb)hair,

she’s like a rain bow.

Comb ing col ours in the (Eb)air

ev’ ry (Bb)where,

she comes in (F7)co lours.

She comes in co lours ev’ ry (Eb)where,

she combs her (Bb)hair,

she’s like a rain bow.

Comb ing col ours in the (Eb)air

ev’ ry (Bb)where,

she comes in (F7)co lours.

Have you seen her dressed in (F7)blue?

See the sky in front of you,

and her face is like a sail, a speck of white so fair and pale.

Have you seen a la dy (Bb)fair er?

She comes in co lours ev’ ry (Eb)where.

She combs her (Bb)hair.

She’s like a rain bow.

Comb ing co lours in the (Eb)air

Have you seen her all in (F7)blue?

See the sky in front of you,

and her face is like a sail, a speck of white so fair and pale.

Have you seen a la dy (Bb)fair er?

She comes in co lours ev’ ry (Eb)where.

She combs her (Bb)hair.

She’s like a rain bow.

Comb ing co lours in the (Eb)air

She's A Rainbow by The Rolling Stones — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “She's A Rainbow by The Rolling Stones 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 104 BPM, a comfortable easy-level arrangement perfect for first-time learners.

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 get comfortable moving between just three chords in E♭ — B♭, E♭, and F7 — which means your right hand can really focus on shaping the melody smoothly while your left hand locks into an Alberti bass pattern. That rolling left-hand figure should feel steady and almost automatic, so start hands-separate: get the Alberti pattern looping cleanly under each chord before you add the melody on top. At 104 BPM the tempo is moderate, but the trickiest moment is the switch into F7, where your left hand has to reorganize quickly without dropping the Alberti rhythm — slow that transition down and loop it until it feels easy. Keep your wrist relaxed throughout; tension will make the bass sound choppy instead of flowing. A light touch on the sustain pedal, changing with each chord, will glue everything together beautifully. This is the piece that'll make your Alberti bass feel like second nature, and once it clicks, you'll carry that skill into dozens of other songs.
