All red Lamb’ just to tease you, (Am)ah.
None of these toys on lease too, (G)ah.

This page shows “Starboy” by The Weeknd 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 C at 82 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with a three-chord loop — Am, F, and G — that repeats throughout, so once your hands know the pattern, you essentially know the whole song. Your left hand plays block bass notes, which means you're landing one solid note per chord change rather than juggling a busy pattern, so focus on making those bass notes firm and evenly timed at 82 BPM. Your right hand handles the chord shapes: Am and G sit naturally under your fingers, but watch the move to F, where you'll want to shift smoothly without a gap in the sound. Practice that Am-to-F transition slowly, hands separately at first, until it feels automatic. Once it's comfortable, bring both hands together and loop just the first four bars until the groove locks in. A common stumble is rushing the G chord because it feels like a turnaround — resist that, keep it steady, and let the rhythm do the work. This is the song that'll make three-chord progressions feel like second nature in your hands.
