Eternal Flame — Piano Lead Sheet

"Eternal Flame" lead sheet with chords, melody, and lyrics. Play the melody while following chord symbols above. Perfect for sing-along or accompaniment. Key of G, 80 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to stretch your chord vocabulary — fourteen chords sounds like a lot at beginner level, but the 80 BPM tempo gives your left hand plenty of time to land each shape.

Start hands-separate: get comfortable with the G to Em to C to D progression that anchors the verses before layering in the melody.

The trickiest moments come when you hit the sus4 chords — Gsus4 and Dsus4 want to resolve smoothly, so practice lifting just that one finger back to the major chord without resetting your whole hand.

Watch the bridge carefully, where Dm and F sneak in outside the key; those shapes will feel unfamiliar at first, so loop that four-bar section slowly until the reach feels natural.

A light touch on the sustain pedal will help you capture the romantic, flowing feel without muddying those seventh chords.

This is the piece that'll teach you confident chord changes across a wide palette — a skill you'll use in everything you play next.
