Lyrics

Child hood (Ab)liv ing

is eas y to (Ab)do;

the things that you want ed,

well, I bought them for you.

Grace less (Ab)la dy,

you know who I am.

You know I can’t (Db)let you

just slide through my hands.

And wild

hor ses

could n’t drag me a way,

and wild

hor ses

could n’t drag me a way.

I watched you suf fer

a dull ach ing pain,

and now you’ve de ci ded

to show me the same.

No sweep ing (Ab)ex its

or off stage lines

could make me feel bit ter

or treat you un kind.

And wild

(Db)hor ses

could n’t drag me a way,

and wild

hor ses

could n’t drag me a way.

I know I’ve you,

sin and a lie,

I have my free dom,

but I have much time.

Fate has been (Ab)suf fered

and tears must be cried;

so let’s do some liv ing

af ter we die.

And wild

(Db)hor ses

could n’t drag me a way,

and wild

hor ses

could n’t drag me a way.

and wild

hor ses

could n’t drag me a way,

a way.

About “Wild Horses”

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Wild Horses" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key Ab, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Wild Horses" by Susan Boyle in?
The backing track is in Ab at 66 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 "Wild Horses" 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 "Wild Horses"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Wild Horses", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Wild Horses" 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.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Wild Horses"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Wild Horses"?
"Wild Horses" was originally performed by Susan Boyle. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What other backing tracks by Susan Boyle are available?
Other accompaniments by Susan Boyle: "Amazing Grace", "Cry Me A River", "Hallelujah". Same toggle-the-melody, change-the-key setup.
What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of Ab, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Wild Horses" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
