Roustabout — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial

Watch "Roustabout" by Elvis Presley 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 E, 252 BPM.

Tip: Use the speed control to practice at 70% tempo first. Focus on tricky chord transitions before attempting the full arrangement.

I’m just a roust a bout shift in’ from town to town. No job can hold me down, I’m just a knock a round (E)guy uy uy. There’s a lot ta space be neath that sky. (F#m)Till I find my (B7)place there’s no doubt I’ll be a (B5)rov in’ roust a (E5)bout. And (A)e ven if a pret ty girl should catch my (G#m)eye, I’ll give her a quick “Hel lo,” “Hey!” and a fast good (G#m)bye. Oh, I’ll go the way I (A5)want, drift in’ just like the (A5)sand, do in’ what job I can, chang ing my plans as I (E5)choose. Long as I keep hap py, I can’t lose. (F#m)Till I find my (B7)place there’s no doubt I’ll be a (B5)rov in’ roust a (E5)bout. I’ll be a (B5)rov in’ roust a (E5)bout, (G)rov in’, rov in’, (B5)rov in’ roust a (E5)bout.
