Lyrics

Last night, a lit tle dan cer came dan cing to my door,

and if it ex pires pray (D)help from a bove.” Be cause:

In the mid night hour she cried more, more, more,

with a re bel yell she cried (Gmaj7)more, more, more.

In the mid night hour, babe, more, more, more,

with a re bel yell,

(Gmaj7)more, more, more, more, more more.

She don’t like slav ery, she won’t sit and beg,

but when I’m tired and lone ly she (D)sees me to bed.

What you free and brought you to me babe?

What you free, I need you (D)here by me.

Be cause:

In the mid night hour she cried more, more, more,

with a re bel yell she cried (Gmaj7)more, more, more.

In the mid night hour, babe, more, more, more,

with a re bel yell,

Well, he’s (Bm)out all night to col lect a fare,

About β€œRebel Yell”

Why does the accompaniment for "Rebel Yell" show falling notes?
Falling Notes makes each chord visual β€” colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol in?
The backing track is in D at 166 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones β€” the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Rebel Yell" with this accompaniment?
Yes β€” 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 "Rebel Yell"?
Effectively yes β€” it's the piano-only backing for "Rebel Yell", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Rebel Yell" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work β€” the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Rebel Yell"?
Yes β€” registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Rebel Yell"?
"Rebel Yell" was originally performed by Billy Idol. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
Can I use "Rebel Yell" as a backing track for singing?
Yes β€” this is the piano accompaniment for Rebel Yell by Billy Idol, with the chord notes falling visually so you can see exactly when each chord lands. Original key is D; transpose live to fit your voice.
How is this different from the bar-sheet accompaniment?
Same audio backing β€” different visualization. Falling notes show each chord note dropping in real time (like Synthesia), which makes the chord rhythm easier to feel. Use whichever view helps you stay on the beat.
