Here I Am — Piano Lead Sheet
45 people have learned this song
"Here I Am" lead sheet with chords, melody, and lyrics. Play the melody while following chord symbols above. Perfect for sing-along or accompaniment. Key of C, 84 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to develop your Alberti bass — your left hand will cycle broken-chord patterns at a gentle 84 BPM, which gives you just enough time to land each shape cleanly before the next change.
Pay special attention to the transitions into A7 and E7, since those introduce sharps (C♯ and G♯) that don't appear anywhere else in the key of C; isolate those bars hands-separately until the finger adjustment feels automatic.
The move from Fmaj7 to Em7 can also catch you off guard because the top note only shifts by a half step — keep your hand quiet and let just the right fingers move.
I'd suggest starting at around 60 BPM, looping the verse progression until your left hand's Alberti pattern feels steady without you watching it, then layer in the melody.
Use a little sustain pedal on each chord change to keep the ballad feel warm, but lift cleanly so the melancholic color doesn't blur.
This is the piece that'll make minor-key chord flows — Am, Dm, Em and their seventh voicings — feel like second nature under your fingers.
