Eternal Flame — Classic Piano Sheet Music
11 people have learned this song
Read "Eternal Flame" by The Bangles in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of G. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 80 BPM.
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.

About “Eternal Flame”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Eternal Flame"?
- 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 G. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Eternal Flame" by The Bangles played in?
- Eternal Flame is arranged in the key of G on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

- The arrangement plays at 80 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.

- This is an advanced arrangement. We recommend breaking it into sections and using the speed control to drill harder passages.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Eternal Flame" 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 G, 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 80 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.
