Lyrics

Hel lo,

it’s me.

I was won der ing if af ter all these years you’d like to meet to go o ver

ev er y thing.

They say that time’s sup posed to heal you, but I ain’t done much heal ing.

Hel lo,

can you hear me?

I’m in Cal i for nia, dream ing a bout who we used to be when we were young er

that you’re and free.

I’ve for got ten how it felt be fore the world fell at our feet.

There’s such a dif f’rence

that be tween of us, and a mil li on of miles.

So: Hel lo from the oth er side.

I must have called a thou sand times

to tell you I’m sor ry for ev ’ry thing that I’ve done, but when I call, you nev er seem to be home.

Hel lo from the out side.

At least I can say that I’ve tried

to tell you I’m sor ry for break ing your heart.

But it don’t mat ter; it clear ly does n’t tear you a part an y more.

Hel lo,

how are hear you?

It’s so Cal i cal of me to talk a bout my self; I’m be ry.

we I hope er

that you’re well.

free.

Did you ev er make it out of that where noth ing ev er hap pened?

It’s no se cret

that the both of us and are run ning out of time.

So: Hel lo from the oth er side.

I must have called a thou sand times

to tell you I’m sor ry for ev ’ry thing that I’ve done, but when I call, you nev er seem to be home.

Hel lo from the out side.

At least I can say that I’ve tried

to tell you I’m sor ry for break ing your heart.

But it don’t mat ter; it clear ly does n’t tear you a part an y more.

Hello — Classic Piano Sheet Music

7 people have learned this song

Read "Hello" by Adele in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of Ab. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 80 BPM.

Tip: Start at 50% speed to get comfortable with the fingering, then work your way up to full tempo.

About “Hello”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Hello"?
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 Ab. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Hello" by Adele played in?
Hello is arranged in the key of Ab on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Hello"?
The arrangement plays at 80 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Hello" 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 "Hello"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "Hello"?
"Hello" was originally performed by Adele. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
What other songs by Adele can I play here?
Try "SOMEONE LIKE YOU", "Hello", "SKYFALL". 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 — "Hello" 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 Ab, 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.
