This page shows “Undone - The Sweater Song” by Weezer 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.

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.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with borrowed chords — you're in G major, but Bb, Eb, and F show up frequently, so your hands need to be comfortable jumping to those flat-side shapes without hesitation. Your left hand drives an oompah bass pattern, alternating between root notes and chord tones, so lock that in hands-separate first at around 60 BPM before layering in the right hand. The trickiest transitions are G to Bb and C to Eb, where your hand has to shift quickly without a shared pivot finger — drill just those two-chord pairs in a loop until they feel automatic. Watch the power chord voicings too; keep them light and punchy rather than heavy. At 80 BPM you have breathing room, so use it to land each chord cleanly. This is the piece that'll make borrowed chords feel like home in your playing.
