Lyrics

Don’t talk,

don’t say

a thing,

’cause your (Eb)eyes, they tell

me more

than your words.

Don’t go,

don’t leave

me now,

To ’cause they (Eb)say the best

way (Abmaj7)out

is through.

And I am short on words, know ing what’s oc curred.

She be gins to leave be cause of me.

Her (Eb)bag is now

much (Absus2)heav i er.

I (Eb)wish that (Bb)I could (Absus2)car ry her,

but (Eb)this is our

un god

ly hour.

I know

you’re leav

in’ now,

’cause I (Eb)held on to

my way

tight your ly.

Stay still

un til

you know.

To mor row (Eb)finds the best

way (Abmaj7)out

is through.

And I am short on words, know ing what’s oc curred.

She be gins to leave be cause of me.

Her (Eb)bag is now

much (Absus2)heav i er.

I (Eb)wish that (Bb)I could (Absus2)car ry her,

but (Eb)this is our

un god

ly hour.

ly hour,

un god

ly hour,

un god

un (Eb)god ly hour,

un (Absus2)god ly hour.

Her (Eb)bag is now

much (Ab)heav i er.

I (Eb)wish that (Bb)I could (Ab)car ry her,

but (Eb)this is our

This page shows “Ungodly Hour” by The Fray 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 Ab at 80 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.
