and it re minds

I drank too (Fmaj7)much last night, got why to pay.

And e ven if I’m there they ’ll all im ply that I (C)might not on my the day,

and then you call

Push the door; I’m home at last,

and I’m soak ing (F)through and through.

And then you hand ed me a towel,

And e ven if my house falls down now,

Thank You by Dido — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Thank You by Dido 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 90 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.
