Lyrics

The (Cm)long and wind ing road

that leads

(Eb7)to your door

will (Gm7)nev er dis ap (Cm)pear,

I’ve seen that (Bb9)road be fore.

It (Gm7)al ways leads me here,

lead me (Bb9)to your

door.

The (Cm)wild and wind y night

that the rain

(Eb7)washed a way,

has (Gm7)left a pool of tears

cry ing (Bb9)for the day.

Why (Gm7)leave me stand (Cm9)ing here,

let me (Bb9)know

the way.

(Eb)Ma ny times I’ve (Ab)been a lone and (Eb)ma ny times I’ve cried,

(Eb)An y way you’ve al ways known the (Eb)ma ny ways I’ve tried.

But (Cm)still they lead me back

to

long

(Eb7)wind ing road,

you

me wait ing here

a long, long (Bb9)time a go.

Don’t (Gm7)keep

lead (Bb9)to

your door.

(Eb)Ma ny times I’ve (Ab)been a lone and (Eb)ma ny times I’ve cried,

(Eb)An y way you’ve al ways known the (Eb)ma ny ways I’ve tried.

But

But lead me to

your door.

About “The Long And Winding Road

Why does the accompaniment for "The Long And Winding Road" 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 "The Long And Winding Road" by The Beatles in?
The backing track is in Ab at 67 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 "The Long And Winding Road" 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 "The Long And Winding Road", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "The Long And Winding Road" 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.
