Lyrics

(F)Here’s to us,

(Dm)one more toast and (Bb)then we’ll (C)pay the bill.

Deep in side

(Dm)both of us can (Bb)feel the (C)au tumn chill.

Birds of pas sage, (C)you and me, we (Bb)fly in (C7)stinc tive ly.

When the sum mer’s (Dm)o ver (F)and the (Bb)dark clouds (C)hide the sun,

(F)nei ther you nor (Dm)I’m to (F)blame when (Bb)all is (C)said and done.

(F)In our lives

(Dm)we have walked some (Bb)strange and (C)lone ly treks,

slight ly worn,

(Dm)dig ni fied and (Bb)not too (C)old for sex.

We’re still striv ing (C)for the sky, no (Bb)taste for (C7)hum ble pie.

Thanks for all your (Dm)gen ’rous (F)love and (Bb)thanks for (C)all the fun.

(F)Nei ther you nor (Dm)I’m to (F)blame when (Bb)all is (C)said and done.

This page shows “When All Is Said And Done” by ABBA 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 88 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

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.
