Lyrics

When I got the news to day,

I did n’t know but the what to say.

And so I just hung up the phone.

I took a walk to clear my head, and this is where the walk in’ led.

Can’t be lieve you’re real ly gone.

Don’t feel like go in’ home.

So I’m gon na (Ab)set right here

on the (Eb)edge of this pier

and watch the sun set

dis ap pear,

and drink a beer.

Fun ny how the good ones go

I too n’t soon, but the good Lord knows

And so the rea sons why, I guess.

And some a times the great er plan

is kind a hard to un der stand.

Can’t Right now it don’t make sense.

I can’t it all make sense.

So I’m gon na (Ab)set right here on the (Eb)edge of this pier

and watch the sun set

dis ap pear,

and drink a beer.

So long,

my friend,

un til we (Fm7)meet

(Eb)a gain.

I’ll re mem

ber you

and (Fm7)all the times

that (Db)we used (Db)to

And drink a beer,

and drink a beer,

yeah.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?

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 150 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.
