Lyrics

And Some all a days round are dia monds,

some there’s a days are rocks.

It Some doors are o pen,

it some roads are blocked.

And Sun downs times are gold en,

then fade a way.

And if I nev er do noth ing,

I’ll get you back some day.

’Cause you got a (Bb)heart so (F)big

it could (Bb)crush this (F)town.

And I can’t hold

out for (Dm)ev er.

E ven (C)walls (C7sus)fall (F)down.

And Some all a days round your is land

some there’s a bar ri cade.

It keeps out the dan ger,

it holds in the pain.

And some downs things you’re hap py,

some times you cry.

And Half of me er is o cean,

I’ll half of me is sky.

But you got a (Bb)heart so (F)big

it could (Bb)crush this (F)town.

And I can’t hold

out for (Dm)ev er.

E ven (C)walls (C7sus)fall (F)down.

(F)down.

Ba by, you got a (Bb)heart so (F)big

it could (Bb)crush this (F)town.

And I can’t hold

out for (Dm)ev er.

E ven (C)walls (C7sus)fall (F)down.

Yes they do.

Yes they do.

They fall (F)down.

(F)down.

Walls by Tom Petty — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Walls” by Tom Petty 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 Bb at 101 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.
