Ghost — Piano Lead Sheet
20 people have learned this song
"Ghost" lead sheet with chords, melody, and lyrics. Play the melody while following chord symbols above. Perfect for sing-along or accompaniment. Key of Bb, 106 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable moving between five closely related chords — Bb, C, Dm, F, and Gm — which all sit naturally under your fingers once you learn the shapes.
Your left hand carries a walking bass line, so start hands-separate there: practice stepping smoothly from one bass note to the next at a slow tempo until the motion feels almost automatic, because at 106 BPM you won't have time to think about where your thumb lands.
The trickiest transition for most students is moving between Bb and C quickly — they're only a whole step apart, but beginners tend to hesitate on the shift.
Loop just that two-chord change until it's effortless.
Your right hand stays rhythmically straightforward, so once the left hand is solid, bringing hands together shouldn't feel like a big leap.
Use a touch of sustain pedal to connect the walking bass notes without blurring them — lift and re-press on each new chord change.
The sad, flowing feel of this piece really comes alive when your bass line walks confidently, so this is the song that'll build your foundation for smooth left-hand movement in any pop ballad you tackle next.
