Oh, where is the sun
that shone
on my head?
The sun in my life,
it is dead,
it is dead.
Oh, where is the light
that would play
in my streets?
And where are the friends
I could meet,
I could meet?
Oh, where are the girls
that I
left all be (B)hind?
The spicks and the specks
of the girls
on my mind.
Oh, where is the sun
that shone
on my head?
The sun in my life,
it is dead,
it is dead.
Oh, where are the girls
I
left
all be hind?
The spicks and the specks
of the girls
on my mind.
Oh, where are the girls

Oh, where is the girl

The girl that I (A)loved,

This page shows βSpicks And Specksβ by Bee Gees in our color-coded kid songbook view β 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 G at 100 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement β try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.
This arrangement will stretch your chord vocabulary in a big way β you're navigating sixteen different chords, many of them chromatic surprises like Ab, C#m, and Eb that pull you well outside the key of G. Start hands-separate: get your left hand comfortable with the pedal bass pattern first, since holding or repeating that anchor note while your right hand shifts through unexpected chord shapes is the core coordination challenge here. At 100 BPM the tempo is gentle, but those chromatic transitions β especially moving between natural and flat or sharp root chords β can trip you up if you haven't mapped the finger moves in advance. Loop any two-bar passage where the harmony shifts chromatically until the hand shape changes feel automatic. Watch your sustain pedal carefully during those shifts; a pedal bass can blur fast if you're not clearing it on each new chord. This is the piece that'll make unfamiliar chord colors feel like home under your fingers.
