Shotgun — Classic Piano Sheet Music
21 people have learned this song
Read "Shotgun" by George Ezra in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of Bb. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 116 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with left-hand octave bass patterns while keeping things fun and rhythmic.
Your left hand will bounce between octave Bb, C, D, and F notes — focus on landing those cleanly with a relaxed wrist, because tension will slow you down fast at 116 BPM.
Your right hand cycles through just four chords — Bb, C, Dm, and F — so the real challenge isn't complexity, it's consistency and groove.
Watch the transition from Bb to C especially: that whole-step shift tempts you to rush.
Start hands-separate at around 80 BPM, locking in the left-hand octave rhythm until it feels automatic, then layer the right hand on top.
Once both hands are steady, bump the tempo up in small increments.
If any section feels shaky, loop it ten times before moving on.
This is the kind of song that trains your hands to hold a steady pop pulse — once you own that, dozens of songs open up.

About “Shotgun”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Shotgun"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature Bb. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Shotgun" by George Ezra played in?
- Shotgun is arranged in the key of Bb on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Shotgun"?
- The arrangement plays at 116 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Shotgun" easy to play on piano?
- Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
- Can I download sheet music for "Shotgun"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Shotgun"?
- "Shotgun" was originally performed by George Ezra. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What chords are used in "Shotgun"?
- This arrangement uses 4 chords: Bb, C, Dm, F. Only a handful of chords — beginner-friendly.

- Try "Budapest", "BUDAPEST", "Blame It On Me". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Shotgun" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Bb, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 116 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
