In the be gin ning,
back in nine teen fif ty five,
man did n’t know ’bout a rock and roll show
and all that jive.
The white man had the schmaltz,
the black man had the blues.
No one knew what they was gon na do, but Tchai kov sky had the news.
He said, let there be light,
and there was light.
Let there be sound, tar,
and there was sound.
tar.
Let there be drums,
and there was drums.
Let there be gui tar,
and there was gui tar.
Let there be drums,
Let there be rock!
And it came to pass
that rock and roll was born.
All a cross the land, ev ’ry rock ing band was blow ing up a storm.
And the gui tar man got fa mous,
the busi ness man got rich
and in ev ’ry bar there was a su per star
with a sev en year itch.
There was fif teen mil lion fin gers
learn ing how to play,
and you could hear the fin gers pick ing,
and this is what they had to say:
Let there be light,
sound,
drums,
gui tar.
Oh, let there be rock!
One night in a club called the Shak ing Hand
there was a for ty two dec i bel rock ing band.
And the mu sic was good and the mu sic was loud.
And the sing er turned and he said to the crowd:
Let there be rock!

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Let There Be Rock" 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 E, 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.
