Lady — Classic Piano Sheet Music
6 people have learned this song
Read "Lady" by Little River Band in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of A. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for adding color tones to basic chord shapes — you'll move between A, A6, and A7 (and similar clusters on D and E), which often means shifting just one finger while the rest of your hand stays planted, so really lock in those anchor fingers.
Your left hand follows an oompah bass pattern — root note, then the chord chunk up an octave — and at 120 BPM that needs to feel relaxed and automatic before you layer in the right hand, so start hands-separate and slower than you think.
Watch the jump to that C chord; it's the one move outside the home key and it can catch you off guard if you're cruising on muscle memory.
Loop that transition until it's boring.
By the end of this piece, voice-leading between plain triads and their 6th or 7th extensions will feel like second nature — that's a skill you'll use in almost every pop song from here on out.

About “Lady”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Lady"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature A. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Lady" by Little River Band played in?
- Lady is arranged in the key of A on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Lady"?
- The arrangement plays at 120 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Lady" easy to play on piano?
- This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
- Can I download sheet music for "Lady"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Lady"?
- "Lady" was originally performed by Little River Band. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What chords are used in "Lady"?
- This arrangement uses 9 chords: A, A6, A7, C, D, D6, E, E6, +1 more.
- What other songs by Little River Band can I play here?
- Try "TAKE IT EASY ON ME", "REMINISCING", "THE NIGHT OWLS". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Lady" 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 A, 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 120 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.
