Misty — Piano Lead Sheet
30 people have learned this song
"Misty" lead sheet with chords, melody, and lyrics. Play the melody while following chord symbols above. Perfect for sing-along or accompaniment. Key of C, 80 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get your hands around real jazz harmony — you'll move through major seventh, minor seventh, dominant, and diminished shapes, so expect your fingers to learn new neighborhoods on the keyboard.
Your left hand carries a walking bass line at a relaxed 80 BPM, which sounds easy until you try to keep it steady under chord changes like Cmaj7 to C#dim7 to Dm7 — that chromatic walk-up is where most students stumble, so isolate it and loop it slowly until the fingering feels automatic.
Practice hands separately first: get the walking bass confident on its own before layering in the melody.
Watch the diminished chords especially (C#dim7, Fdim7, Cdim7) — they resolve beautifully but the finger shapes are compact and easy to misplace.
Use gentle sustain pedal, changing on each new chord.
This is the piece that'll make seventh-chord voicings feel like second nature to you.
