This page shows “Two Of Us” by The Beatles 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 120 BPM, a comfortable easy-level arrangement perfect for first-time learners.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with borrowed chords — you'll mostly sit in G major territory with G, C, Am, and D7, but then Bb, Gm, and Dm pop up and ask your right hand to shift into unfamiliar shapes. Those are the spots to isolate first: loop the transitions into and out of Bb and Gm at half tempo until your fingers land without hesitation. Your left hand has a pedal bass pattern, so it stays relatively anchored — use that stability to keep your rhythm steady while your right hand navigates the chord changes. At 120 BPM the pace is forgiving, but don't rush through the D7-to-Gm movement; give yourself time to resettle your hand position. Practice hands separately for the first few passes, then combine once the shapes feel automatic. This is the piece that'll teach you to handle chromatic surprises without freezing up — a skill you'll use constantly from here on.
