Lyrics

Hel lo, it’s (Cmaj7)me,

I’ve thought a bout us for a (Cmaj7)long, long I time,

may be I think too much but (Am7)some thing’s wrong,

there’s some thing here that does n’t (Fmaj7)last too long,

may be I should n’t think of (Dm)you as way mine.

See lo, ing (Cmaj7)you,

or see ing an y thing as (Cmaj7)much long I do

I take for grant ed that you’re (Am7)al ways there,

I take for grant ed that you (Fmaj7)just don’t care,

some times I can’t help see ing (Dm)all as way through.

It’s im (Cmaj7)por tant to (Bbmaj7)me

that you (Fmaj7)know you are (Cmaj7)free,

(Gmaj7)’cause I (Bbmaj7)nev er (Am7)want to (Gm7)make you (Fmaj7)change for (Gm7)me.

Think

of (Cmaj7)me,

you know that I’d be with you (Cmaj7)if I could.

I’ll come a round to see you (Am7)once in a while

or if I ev er need a (Fmaj7)rea son to smile

and spend the night if you (Dm)think I should.

(Ebmaj7)(Think of (Fmaj7)me.

(Ebmaj7)Think of (Fmaj7)me.)

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

Can I slow "Hello, It's Me" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
