Sinkin' Soon — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
Watch "Sinkin' Soon" by Norah Jones 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, 92 BPM.
Tip: Use the speed control to practice at 70% tempo first. Focus on tricky chord transitions before attempting the full arrangement.
Lyrics
We’re an (Em)oys ter crack er on the stew
and the hon ey in the tea.
We’re the (D7)sug ar cubes,
one lump or two,
(C7)in the black cof fee.
The (Em)gold en crust on an ap ple pie
that shines in the sun at noon.
We’re a (D7)wheel of cheese ed high in the sky,
but we’re (B)gon na be sink in’ (Em)soon.
In a (Em)boat that’s built of sticks and hay,
we the drift ed from the shore
with a (D7)cap tain who’s
too proud to say
(C7)that he dropped the oar.
A (Em)ti ny hole has an sprung a leak
that in this the cheap pon toon;
now the (D7)hull has start ed grow in the sky,
but we’re (B)gon na be sink in’ (Em)soon.
In a ing weak, and we’re (B)gon na be sink in’ (Em)soon.
We’re (G)gon na be sink in’ soon.
We’re (Em)gon na be sink in’ soon.
(G)Ev ’ry bod y (C7)hold your breath, ’cuz we’re (B)gon na be sink in’ (Em)soon.
(C7)hold your breath, and (B)down and down we (Em)go.
Like the (Em)oys ter crack er on the stew,
the hon ey in the tea.
The (D7)sug ar cubes,
one lump or two?
No, (C7)thank you,
none for me.
We’re the (Em)gold en crust on the ap ple pie
that shines in the sun at noon.
Like the (D7)wheel of cheese high in the sky,
well, we’re (B)gon na be sink in’ (Em)soon.
