Rockabye — Piano Lead Sheet
10 people have learned this song
"Rockabye" lead sheet with chords, melody, and lyrics. Play the melody while following chord symbols above. Perfect for sing-along or accompaniment. Key of C, 92 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with an oompah bass pattern in your left hand — you'll play a low root note followed by the chord higher up, rocking back and forth in a steady rhythm.
At 92 BPM it's not fast, but keeping that left-hand pulse even while your right hand carries the melody takes some coordination, so start hands-separate until each feels automatic.
Your five chords — Am, C, Em, F, and G — sit nicely under the fingers, but watch the Am-to-F transition specifically; that reach can trip beginners up if you don't prepare your hand position early.
Loop those two bars until they feel smooth.
The song's melancholy mood comes through best when you keep dynamics gentle and consistent rather than hammering the keys.
Once this clicks, you'll have a solid oompah foundation you can carry into dozens of other pop songs.
