This page shows “Tequila” by Dan + Shay 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 86 BPM, a comfortable easy-level arrangement perfect for first-time learners.
