What A Day That Will Be — Piano Lead Sheet
40 people have learned this song
"What A Day That Will Be" lead sheet with chords, melody, and lyrics. Play the melody while following chord symbols above. Perfect for sing-along or accompaniment. Key of Db, 135 BPM.
This arrangement is a wonderful workout for left-hand independence — that oompah bass pattern needs to stay relaxed and steady at 135 BPM while your right hand floats the melody on top.
Start hands-separate and slower, maybe around 100 BPM, locking in the left hand's bass-note-then-chord rhythm until it feels automatic.
Playing in Db means your fingers sit naturally along the black keys, which is actually comfortable once you trust the hand shape.
Watch the move into Bbm7 and Eb7 — those transitions can trip you up if you're not anticipating the chord change a beat early.
The Ab7 resolving back to Db should feel like a satisfying exhale; lean into that.
If any section stumbles, loop just those four bars until they're boring.
This is the piece that'll make oompah patterns in flat keys feel like second nature, and the peaceful mood rewards a light, unhurried touch throughout.
