(D7sus4)’Cause you’re a (G)sky,

’cause you’re a (G)sky

full of stars.

(D7sus4)I’m gon na (G)give

you my heart.

(D7sus4)’Cause you’re a (G)sky,

’cause you’re a (G)sky

full of stars.

(D7sus4)’Cause you (G)light

up the path.

(D7sus4)I don’t care,

go on and (G)tear

me a part.

(D7sus4)I don’t care

if you do.

Ooh.

Ooh.

(D7sus4)’Cause in a (C)sky,

’cause in a (G)sky

full of stars I think I saw (Em7)you.

I think I see (Em7)you.

Free karaoke for "A Sky Full Of Stars" by Coldplay: lyrics on screen with the chords above each line and a bouncing ball that lands on every word in time. Sing along, or play along on guitar or piano from the chord chart. Change the key to fit your voice, slow the tempo down. Key of G, 124 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with minor-seventh chord shapes — your left hand plays block chords, so you'll want clean, confident drops onto Bm7 and Em7 without hesitation.

At 124 BPM the pulse moves briskly, so start at about 80 BPM hands-separate until each hand feels automatic, then bring them together.

The trickiest transition is usually C to Bm7: your fingers need to shift position quickly, so loop just that two-chord change until it's smooth.

Watch your right hand's rhythm too — it's easy to rush eighth notes when the tempo picks up, so count steadily and let the beat carry you rather than pushing ahead.

Once you're solid at full speed, try holding the sustain pedal through each chord change for that warm, romantic wash.

This is the piece that'll lock five essential chord shapes into your muscle memory for dozens of songs to come.
