Lyrics

(G)You on ly (Dm)live twice

or so it (G)seems.

One life for your (Dm)self and (Cm)one for your (D)dreams.

(G)You drift through the (Dm)years

(Cm)and life seems (G)tame

till one dream ap (Dm)pears and (Cm)love is it’s (G)name.

And love is a (D)stran ger

(Fm6)who’ll beck on you (D)on.

Don’t think of the (D)dan ger or the (Cm)stran ger is (D7)gone.

(G)This dream is for (Dm)you

so pay the (G)price.

Make one dream come (Dm)true, you (Cm)on ly live (G)twice.

This page shows “You Only Live Twice” by Nancy Sinatra 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 G at 120 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

  • 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.
