When the (F)sun (G)goes (Am)down

and the (F)band (G)won’t (C)play,

We don’t know how to rhyme, I but, damn, catch we try.

But all I real ly (Am)know:

The part of me that’s you that will nev er die.

So, when I’m (F)all choked up and I can’t find the words,

When the (F)sun (G)goes (Am)down

Easy piano arrangement in the key of C at 66 BPM. Difficulty: easy. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to develop expressive control at a slow tempo — 66 BPM feels spacious, but keeping your rhythm steady without rushing through held notes is a real skill.

Your left hand uses a pedal bass pattern, meaning you'll anchor on a single low note while chords shift above it, so focus on keeping that bass smooth and connected.

Five of your six chords sit naturally in the key of C, but watch out for the B♭ — it's a borrowed chord that adds emotional weight, and your fingers may hesitate the first few times you reach for it.

Practice the G to Gsus4 resolution separately until the fourth-finger stretch feels automatic.

I'd suggest hands apart first, looping the verse until transitions feel effortless, then layering hands together.

This is the song that'll train you to make simple chords sound genuinely moving through touch and timing alone.
