Lyrics

(D)Trou ble in town

be cause they cut my (D)broth er down,

be cause my sis ter can’t (D)wear her crown,

there’s (Bb)trou ble, there’s trou ble in town.

(D)Blood on the beat

oh cause my they good ness, there’s (D)blood on the beat,

the jun gle or the (D)law of the street,

there’s (Bb)blood on, there’s blood on the beat.

And I get no shel ter

and I get no peace

and I nev er get re

leased.

And I get no com

fort

and I get no name,

ev ’ry thing is get

ting strained.

There must be some way

or it’s go ing to kick off some day,

there must be some way.

Trouble In Town by Coldplay — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Trouble In Town” by Coldplay 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 G at 100 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

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.
