    He said I was his friend            E     Which came as some surprise    B     I spoke into his eyes

    C                                                    You're face

                                                   To face

                              With the man who sold the world C

                                     2nd Verse
                                     I laughed and shook his hand        G#

    And made my way back home      C#m        I searched from form and land       G#    for years and years I roamed

                         E     I gazed the gazeless stare     B     At all the millions hills

              G#    I must have died alone, a long long time ago C#m

    2nd Chorus                                                                          Who knows, not me

                              With the man who sold the world C

                               3rd Chorus

                         Who knows, not me

                                   We never lost control C

    You're face                                                                              To face

More Than Tabs

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.
