Lyrics

(CN.C.)I brought my tree

down to the shore,

the gar land and the sil ver star,

to find my (Ebmaj7)peace

and (F)grieve no (Gm)more,

(Bb)to (Eb)heal this (Ebmaj7)place in (F)side my (Bb)heart.

On (Bb)ev ’ry (Eb)branch,

I (F)laid some (Gm)bread,

and (Eb)hun gry birds filled (Gm7)up the (F)sky.

They (Bb)rang like (Eb)bells

a (F)round my (Gm)head,

(Bb)they (Eb)sang my spir it (F)back to (Bb)life.

One ti ny (Bbmaj7)Child

can (Eb)change the (Bb)world;

one (F#dim7)shin ing (Gm)Light

can (F7)show the (Bb)way.

Through (Bb)all my (Ebsus2)tears

for (Eb)what I’ve (Dm)lost,

there’s (F#dim)still my (Gm)joy,

there’s (F#dim)still my (Eb)joy

for (F)Christ mas (Bb)Day.

The (Bb)snow comes (Eb)down

on (F)emp ty (Gm)sand,

(Bb)there’s (Eb)tin sel moon light (Gm)on the (F)waves.

My (Bb)soul was (Ebmaj7)lost,

but (F#dim)here I (Gsus)am,

(Bb)so (Eb)this must (Ebmaj7)be a (F7)maz ing (Bb)grace.

One ti ny (Eb)joy

for (F)Christ mas (Bb)Day.

There’s (F#dim7)still my (Eb)joy

for (F)Christ mas (Bb)Day.

You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Eb, 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 52 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.
