Lyrics

(Eb)Black cats creep a cross my path un (Eb7)til I’m al most mad.

I (Eb7)must have ’roused the dev il’s wrath, ’cause (F7)all my luck is bad.

I (F)make a date for golf and you can (Dbdim)bet your life it rains,

I (F7)try to give a par ty and the (G7)guy up stairs com plains,

I (Ebm6)guess I’ll go through life just catch in’ (G7)colds and miss in’ trains.

(F13)Ev ’ry thing hap pens to (G7)me.

I (F)nev er miss a thing, I’ve had the (Dbdim)mea sles and the mumps,

and (F7)ev ’ry time I play an ace my (G7)part ner al ways trumps,

I (Ebm6)guess I’m just a fool who nev er (G7)looks be fore he jumps.

(F13)Ev ’ry thing hap pens to (Bb)me.

At (Bb)first my heart thought you could break this (Eb6)jinx for me,

that (Bb7)love would turn the trick to end de (Eb6)spair,

but (A7#9)now I just can’t fool this head that (D6)thinks for me,

I’ve (C7)mort gaged all my cas tles in the (F7)air.

I’ve (F)tel e graphed and phoned, I sent an (Dbdim)“Air mail Spe cial,” too.

Your (F7)an swer was “good bye,” and there was (G7)e ven pos tage due.

I (Cm7)fell in love just once and then it (G7)had to be with you.

(F13)Ev ’ry thing hap pens to (G7)me.

(F13)Ev ’ry thing hap pens to (Bb6/9)me.

About “Everything Happens To Me”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Everything Happens To Me"?
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 "Everything Happens To Me" by Frank Sinatra played in?
Everything Happens To Me 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 "Everything Happens To Me"?
The arrangement plays at 64 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Everything Happens To Me" easy to play on piano?
Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
Can I download sheet music for "Everything Happens To Me"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "Everything Happens To Me"?
"Everything Happens To Me" was originally performed by Frank Sinatra. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
What other songs by Frank Sinatra can I play here?
Try "THE CONTINENTAL", "LOST IN THE STARS", "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes". 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 — "Everything Happens To Me" 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 64 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.
