(Ab7)flight

(Bb)down,

there’s a song

on

low,

and your mind

just (Abm7)picked up on the sound.

Now you know

that (Ab7)you’re

wrong,

be cause it (Ebm7)drifts

like

smoke,

and it’s been there

(Abm7)play ing all a long.

Now you know,

now

(Ab13)you know.

The reeds and (Bbm7)brass have been

weav ing,

lead ing in to a sin

gle

note.

In

this place,

where your arms

un

fold,

here at last

you (Abm7)see your an cient face.

(Ab)Now you know,

(Ebm9)now

you know.

ca dence

rolls in

bro ken,

plays it ov er and

then

goes

one

flight down,

there’s a song

on

low,

and it’s been

(Abm7)play ing all a long.

(Ebm9)now

you know.

(Ebm9)Now

you know.

About “One Flight Down

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "One Flight Down" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key Gb, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "One Flight Down" by Norah Jones in?
The backing track is in Gb at 66 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "One Flight Down" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "One Flight Down"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "One Flight Down", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "One Flight Down" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.

What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of Gb, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "One Flight Down" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
