I close my eyes then I can (Db)fly

and I es (Ab)cape from all this (Eb)world ly strife re (Ab)strict ed by rou (Eb)tine of life, but (Fm7)still I can’t dis cov er who am (G)I.

I long to (Am7)wake up in the morn ing and find (G)ev ’ry thing has changed, and all the (Am7)peo ple that I meet don’t wear a (G)frown.

But ev ’ry (Fm7)day is just (Bb7)the same, I’m (Cm)chas ing (Fm7)rain bows in (Bb9)the (Eb)rain.

All the (Cm)dreams that I be (Gm)lieve in let me (Fm7)down.

May be I’m reach ing far too (Db)high

for I have (Ab)some thing else en (Eb)tire ly free, the (Ab)love of some one (Eb)close to me un (Fm7)fet tered by the world that hur ries (Eb)by,

to (Fm7)ques tion such good for tune who am (Eb)I.

About “Who Am I

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Who Am I" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key Ab, 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 "Who Am I" by Petula Clark in?
The backing track is in Ab at 180 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 "Who Am I" 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 "Who Am I"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Who Am I", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Who Am I" 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.

Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.

What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of Ab, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Who Am I" 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.
