Play the full song with sheet music

The accompaniment with every note named, bar by bar: the bar sheet shows each note as a bar on the staff with its letter inside, so you can accompany Gravity without reading music. The left hand plays thunder tremolo (octave tremolo), and the right hand sings the tune.

How to read the bar sheet

The player above shows the treble staff (right hand) over the bass staff (left hand). Every note is a bar as long as it sounds, at its place on the staff, with its name inside, and the music scrolls past a line that marks now. The chord names run along the top.

Start with the left hand alone at a slow speed, then the right, then both. When the letters feel easy, try the sheet music.

Questions about Gravity

What are the letter notes for the Gravity piano accompaniment?

Bar by bar, both hands: the bar sheet on this page names every note of the accompaniment (C4 is middle C) and plays along. The loop is Bbm – Ab – Db – Fm, so the letters repeat with the chords.

What chords are in Gravity?

The loop is Bbm – Ab – Db – Fm (iv – bIII – bVI – i) in F minor, and the song ends on Db – Eb – Fm.

What key is Gravity in?

F minor, at about 78 beats a minute in 4/4.

What does the left hand play in Gravity?

Thunder tremolo: octave tremolo, a tricky pattern. It follows the chords, so the same shape works for every bar.

Is Gravity easy to play on piano?

It is a tricky one: learn the 4 chords as blocks first, then add the left hand, then the right, slowly.

Made from one arrangement of this song: the left and right hands are the patterns these scores repeat most.
