Lyrics

(F)Quar ter in a pay phone, dry in’ laun dry on the line, watch in’ sun tea in the win dow, pock et watch a tell in’ time.

(F)Seems like on ly yes ter day I’d get a blank cas sette, re cord the coun try count down ’cause I (Bb)could n’t buy it yet.

If we drove all the way to Dal las just to buy an Eas ter dress, we’d take a long a Rand Mc Nal ly, stand in line to pay for gas.

God (F)knows that shift in’ gears ain’t what it used to be; I learned to drive that Fif ty five just like a queen, three on a tree.

(F)Hey, what ev er hap pened to

wait in’ your turn,

do in’ it all by hand?

’Cause when ev ’ry thing is hand ed to you,

it’s on ly worth

as much as the time you put in.

It all just seems so good the way we had it

(Eb)back be fore ev ’ry thing be (Bb)came

au to mat (F)ic.

If (F)you had some thin’ to say, you’d write it on a piece of pa per.

Then you’d (Eb)put a stamp on it and they’d (Bb)get it three days lat er.

The (F)boys would call the girls

and girls would turn them down.

Stay in’ (Eb)mar ried was the on ly way to work your prob lems out.

(Bb)came

au to mat ic,

yeah.

Au to mat

Let’s (F)roll the win dows down,

Come on, let’s take a pic ture, the kind you got ta shake.

(F)Hey, what ev er hap pened to

wait in’ your turn,

do in’ it all by hand?

’Cause when ev ’ry thing is hand ed to you,

it’s on ly worth

as much as the time you put in.

It all just seems so good the way we had it

(Eb)back be fore ev ’ry thing be (Bb)came

About “Automatic

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Automatic"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature Bb. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Automatic" by Miranda Lambert played in?
Automatic is arranged in the key of Bb on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Automatic"?
The arrangement plays at 100 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Automatic" easy to play on piano?
This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
Can I download sheet music for "Automatic"?

Try "SOMETHIN' BAD", "VICE", "OVER YOU". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Automatic" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Bb, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 100 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
