Lyrics

She walks to (Ab)school with the (Bbm7)lunch she packed.

No bod y (Ab)knows what she’s hold in’ back.

Wear in’ the (Ab)same dress she wore yes ter day,

she hides the (Ab)bruis es with the (Bbm7)lin en and lace, oh.

The teach er (Ab)won ders, but she (Bbm7)dle does n’t ask.

It’s hard to (Ab)see the pain be (Bbm7)hind the mask.

Bear ing the (Ab)bur den of a (Bbm7)se cret storm,

some times she (Ab)wish es she was (Bbm7)be nev er born.

Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone in a world that she can’t rise a bove.

But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she’s loved.

Con crete an gel.

Some bod y (Ab)cries in the mid (Bbm7)shad of the night.

The neigh bors (Ab)hear, but they turn (Bbm7)out the lights.

A frag ile (Ab)soul caught in the (Bbm7)hands of fate.

When morn ing (Ab)comes, es it ’ll (Bbm7)world too for late.

Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone in a world that she can’t rise a bove.

But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she’s loved.

Con crete an gel.

crete an gel.

crete an gel.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Concrete Angel" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Db, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 80 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
