Warning Sign by Coldplay — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Warning Sign by Coldplay 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 Eb at 120 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
