Lyrics

Here comes the sun, doo da doo doo,

Here comes the sun, and I say "It's all right."

Lit tle dar ling, it’s been a long cold, lone ly win ter;

lit tle dar ling, it feels like years since it’s been here.

Here comes the sun,

Here comes the sun and I say "It's all right."

Lit tle dar ling, the smiles re turn ing to their fac es;

lit tle dar ling, it feels like years since it’s been here.

Here comes the sun,

Here comes the sun and I say "It's all right."

(C)Sun, (G)sun, (D)sun, here it (A)comes.

Here comes the sun,

It's all right,

It's all right.

Easy piano arrangement in the key of A at 120 BPM. Difficulty: easy. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with extended chords — those Dmaj7 and Dmaj9 shapes sound lush but sit nicely under your fingers once you find them a few times slowly.

Your left hand carries an oompah bass pattern throughout, so lock that in at around 80 BPM before you add the right hand; once that feel is automatic, the whole song opens up.

Watch the transition from E7 to Esus4 — resist the urge to rush it, because that suspension needs a breath to land properly.

The move into B7 and Bm7 can also trip you up if you're not anticipating the shift, so loop those two bars until they're effortless.

When you bring it up to full tempo at 120 BPM, keep your wrists relaxed and let the happy, bright key of A do the emotional work for you.

This is the song that'll make extended major chords feel like old friends.
