Lyrics

The (Bb)days

are ghosts that pass right (F)through us.

In my (Bb)eyes

you’re like an ev er green.

Un (Bb)touched

by the hours that fly a (F)round us.

My (Bb)love,

is that how you see me?

Re (Gm)mem ber when, re mem ber when we were the (Dm)dia monds in the coal.

(Gm)Lov ers know there’s no age up on your soul.

It’s all O K, you give me (Bb)young blood.

It’s cours ing through my veins, it’s (F)real love.

And here in side my heart it’s (Dm)cry stal ised like it’s (C)framed in time and nev er (Bb)taint ed.

Yeah, it’s al right, you give me (Bb)young blood.

Be fore the world I may be (F)old e nough.

There’ll be a day to take the (C)best of us.

But till then we have (Bb)young blood.

Young Blood by Sophie Ellis-Bextor — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Young Blood” by Sophie Ellis-Bextor 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 120 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.
