Life On Mars? — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
Watch "Life On Mars?" by David Bowie in falling notes style — like Synthesia. Color-coded notes fall onto the keyboard in real time. Practice left hand, right hand, or both. Key of Bb, 60 BPM.
Tip: Start at 50% speed to get comfortable with the fingering, then work your way up to full tempo.
Lyrics
It’s a (F)God aw ful small af fair
to the (D)girl with the mou sy hair,
but her (Gm)mum my is yell ing no,
and her (C)dad dy has told her to go.
But her (F)friend is no where to be seen,
now she (D)walks through her sunk en dream
to the (Gm)seat with the clear est view,
and she’s (C)hooked to the sil ver screen.
But the (Caug)film is a sad dening bore,
for she’s (Ab)lived it ten times or more.
She could (Faug)spit in the eyes of fools
as they (B)ask her to fo cus on (Bb)sail lors (Eb)fight ing in the dance hall.
Oh, man, (Gbaug)look at those cave men (F)go.
It’s the frea ki est show.
Take a look at the (Bb)law man (Eb)beat ing up the wrong guy.
Oh, man, (Gbaug)won der if he’ll ev er know
he’s in the best sell ing show.
Is there life on (Gm)Mars?
