Titanic Theme ('My Heart Will Go On')
James Horner, composer for the hugely successful film "Titanic" (1997, directed by James Cameron) decided to use the instrumental motifs in the film to create a song for the ending of the movie. Cameron was said to be reluctant to the idea to begin with, although was eventually persuaded.
The result was the remarkable Titanic theme song - "My Heart Will Go On" which went on to be the best selling single of 1998, and received many accolades, including a Golden Globe Award in the same year.
|
This song is originally in the key of F, with the first chord of the intro being Dm. There is also a key change in the final chorus to A major - first chord F#m - with the melody soaring to a top E, perfectly executed by Celine Dion. However, below you will find the Titanic song chords & words in C major, specifically designed with the beginner in mind.
