Heartless — Simple Sheet Music
55 people have learned this song
"Heartless" in simplified sheet music format — the bridge between beginner modes and real sheet music. Color-coded notes with lyrics scrolling horizontally. Perfect for learning to read music. Key of A, 88 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to lock in your left-hand "oompah" bass pattern — that means your left hand alternates between a low root note and a higher chord tone on every beat, giving the track its bouncy, hip-hop pulse even at a relaxed 88 BPM.
Your right hand cycles through just five chords — Am, C, Em7, F, and G — so the shapes themselves aren't complex, but watch the F-to-G transition closely: it comes up quick and tends to trip people up if your hand isn't already drifting toward position.
Start hands-separate and slower than you think you need, maybe around 65 BPM, until that oompah motion feels automatic.
Once your left hand can run on autopilot, layer the right hand in.
Pay special attention to Em7 — stretching to include that seventh is a small reach that teaches your fingers to voice beyond basic triads.
Keep your pedal lifts clean on each chord change so the sad minor tones don't blur into the brighter C and G.
This is the piece that'll make oompah bass feel like second nature for every pop song you play next.
