You (Eb)seem to think that ev ’ry thing I ev er (D7)did was wrong;

I should have know it (C7)all a long.

Oh, darl ing,

there ain’t no pleas ing (Eb)you.

(Eb)You on ly (Eb7)had to say the word,

and you knew I’d (Ab)do

You had me (Eb7)where you want ed me,

be you went and (Ab)blew

Now ev ’ry thing

I ev er done

But now (Bb)you

About “Ain't No Pleasing You”

Why does the accompaniment for "Ain't No Pleasing You" show falling notes?
Falling Notes makes each chord visual — colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Ain't No Pleasing You" by Chas & Dave in?
The backing track is in Ab at 147 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Ain't No Pleasing You" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.

Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Ain't No Pleasing You", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Ain't No Pleasing You" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
