Lyrics
I must have left my house at eight be (Bb)cause I al ways (A)do.
My train, I’m cer tain, left the sta tion (A)just when it was (Dm)due.

I must have made my desk
a round a quar ter af ter (C)nine,
with (C7)let ters to be read, and heaps of pa pers wait ing to be (F)signed.
I (Bb)must have gone to lunch at (F)half past twelve or so, the us ual (Gm)place, the us ual bunch.
And still on top of this I’m pret ty (E)sure it must have (A)rained
the day be fore you (Dm)came.
I must have lit my sec ond cig a (Bb)rette at half past (A)two.
And at the time I nev er e ven (A)no ticed I was (Dm)blue.

At six I must have left,

And rat tling on the roof I must have (E)heard the sound of (A)rain,

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Day Before You Came (From Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again)" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML.

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 108 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.
