Lyrics

As the (Em)mid night moon

was (G)drift in’ through and the (D)la ket zy sway of the trees,

I saw the (Em)look in your eyes look in’ (G)in to mine, on the (D)see in’ what you want ed to see.

Dar (A)lin’, (Bm)don’t say a word, ’cause I al read y heard what your (G)bod y’s say in’ to mine.

If I’m tired of (Em)fast moves, I’ve got a slow groove

on my the mind.

I I want a man with a (D)slow hand.

I want a lov er (A)with an (Bm)eas y touch.

I want some bod y who will (D)spend some time,

not come and go (A)in a (Bm)heat ed rush.

I want some bod y who will (G)un der stand.

When it comes to love, I want a (D)slow hand.

On the (Em)shad owed ground,

with (G)no one a and a (D)blan ket of stars in our eyes,

I we are (Em)drift ing your free, look like (G)two lost leaves on the (D)cra in’ zy you wind of the night.

Dar (A)lin’, (Bm)don’t say a word, ’cause I al read y heard what your (G)bod y’s say in’ to mine.

If I want it (Em)all night, you say it’s all right.

We got the time,

I I got a man with a (D)slow hand.

I got a lov er (A)with an (Bm)eas y touch.

I’ve got some bod y who will (D)spend some time,

not come and go (A)in a (Bm)heat ed rush.

I found some bod y who will (G)un der stand.

When it comes to love, I want a (D)slow hand.

On the

If I want it (Em7)all night,

please say it’s (Bm7)all right.

It’s not a (Em7)fast move, but a slow groove

on my mind.

’Cause I got a man with a (D)slow hand.

What key is "Slow Hand" by Pointer Sisters played in?
Slow Hand is arranged in the key of B on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Slow Hand"?
The arrangement plays at 94 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Slow Hand" easy to play on piano?
This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
Can I download sheet music for "Slow Hand"?

Who composed "Slow Hand"?

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Slow Hand" 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 B, 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 94 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.
