Ooh.

Stole a (Bb)key.

Took a (Gm)car down town where the (Eb)lost boys meet.

Took a car down town and (Cm7)took what they of fered me

I saw the (Gm)lights go down at the (Eb)end of the scene.

I saw the lights go down and (Cm7)stand ing in front of me.

Ooh.

In my scare crow dreams,

when they (Gm)smash my heart in to (Eb)smith er eens, be a bright red rose, come (Cm7)burst ing through con crete.

And a car toon (Bb)heart.

(Ebmaj7)Light a fire, a fire, a spark.

(Fsus4)Light a fire, a flame in my heart.

We’ll run (Eb)wild,

we’ll be glow (Bb)ing in the (Gm7)dark.

Ooh.

We’ll be glow ing in the (Gm7)dark.

Ooh.

Oh.

All the (Fsus4)boys, all the girls, all that (Eb6)mat ters in the world.

All the

the (Eb6)mad ness that oc curs.

(Fsus4)highs, all the lows, as the room a spin ning goes.

We’ll run ri ot.

We’ll be glow ing in the (Gm7)dark.

Ooh.

Ooh.

Ah.

So we’ll soar

lu mi nous and wired,

we’ll be glow ing in the dark.

About “Charlie Brown

Why does the accompaniment for "Charlie Brown" 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 "Charlie Brown" by Coldplay in?
The backing track is in Eb at 136 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 "Charlie Brown" 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.
Is this a karaoke version of "Charlie Brown"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Charlie Brown", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Charlie Brown" 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.
