Locked Out Of Heaven — Classic Piano Sheet Music
53 people have learned this song
Read "Locked Out Of Heaven" by Bruno Mars in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of Bb. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 145 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with B♭ major territory — a key that feels unfamiliar at first but quickly becomes second nature once your hands learn the neighborhood.
Your left hand gets a walking bass line, so practice that separately at around 100 BPM before bringing it up to the full 145; the steady motion needs to feel automatic so it doesn't pull focus from your right hand's chord work.
Watch the shift between Gm7 and Csus4 especially — that suspension wants to resolve, and rushing it is the most common stumble I see.
The power chords (B♭pow, Cpow) are your friends here: they're slim two-note shapes that give you breathing room during faster passages.
Try looping the chorus progression hands-together at a slow tempo until the Dm–F–C–B♭ movement feels like muscle memory, then gradually speed up.
This is the song that'll lock in your comfort with flat-key chord transitions, and that skill pays off in dozens of pop tunes down the road.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Locked Out Of Heaven" 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 Bb, 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 145 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.
