This page shows “World by Five For Fighting 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 C at 80 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.
