This page shows “Video Games” by Lana Del Rey 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 A at 62 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for your left hand — the Alberti bass pattern needs to stay smooth and unhurried at 62 BPM, which is honestly harder than playing fast because every uneven note is exposed. Start hands-separate and really lock in that rolling left-hand shape before adding the melody. You're working with nine chords here, and several — C, G, and especially Dm6 — are borrowed from outside the key of A, so those shifts will feel surprising under your fingers at first. Loop the bars around Dm6 until the shape is automatic. Watch the Esus4-to-E resolution too; let the suspension hang its full length before releasing. Use pedal sparingly and change it cleanly on each chord switch so the borrowed harmonies don't blur together. This is the piece that'll make Alberti bass feel like second nature to you — stick with it.
