Lyrics

You know I’m a (C)dream er,

but my (Em)heart’s of gold.

I had to (C7)run a way high so I (F)would n’t come home low.

Just when (C)things went right, it does n’t mean they were (Em)al ways wrong.

Just take this (C7)song and you’ll nev er be (F)left all a lone.

Take me to your (C)heart;

feel me in your (Em)bones.

Just one more (C7)night and I’m com ing off this (F)long and wind ing road.

I’m on my (Ab)way,

I’m on my (Bb)way;

home sweet (C)home.

To night, to night, I’m on my (Ab)way,

I’m on my (Bb)way;

home sweet (C)home.

You know that I (C)seen

too man y ro (Em)man tic dreams

up in (C7)lights, fall ing off the (F)sil ver screen.

My heart’s like an (C)o pen book for the whole (Em)world to read.

Some times (C7)noth ing keeps me to geth er (F)at the seams.

I’m on my (C)home.

Home sweet (Ab)home.

Home sweet (C)home.

Home sweet (Ab)home.

Home sweet

Ooh, I’m on my (Ab)way,

I’m on my (Bb)way;

home sweet (C5)home.

Yeah, I’m on my (Ab)way.

Just set me (Bb)free; home sweet (C5)home.

Hmm,

hmm,

hmm,

hmm.

Home Sweet Home — Easy Piano Notes for Beginners

5 people have learned this song

Learn "Home Sweet Home" on piano with easy notes — perfect for absolute beginners. Large color-coded note names show exactly which keys to press. No music reading required. Key of C, 100 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with left-hand octave bass patterns — your left hand will stretch to consistent octaves throughout, so if that shape still feels awkward, spend a minute just bouncing octaves on C and F until it's relaxed and automatic.

At 100 BPM you have breathing room, but watch the moves to Ab and Bb chords — those sit outside the key of C and will catch you off guard if you haven't mapped the hand shift in advance.

Practice those two transitions slowly, hands separate, before putting everything together.

The C-pedal sections let your left hand anchor on C while your right hand moves above it, so really lean into that stability instead of tensing up.

C7 resolving to F is another spot to drill until it feels inevitable, not fumbled.

Once those non-diatonic jumps are smooth, the whole piece clicks — and you'll have a real foundation for handling borrowed chords in future rock ballads.
