I’m gon na make a change

It’s gon na feel real good, gon na make a dif f’rence, gon na make it right.
As I turn up the (D)col lar on my fa v’rite (D)win ter coat, this wind is blow in’ my mind.
I see the kids in the street with not e (Em)nough to eat; who am I (Cmaj7)to be blind, pre tend ing not to see their needs?
A sum mer’s dis re gard, a bro ken bot tle top,
and a one man’s soul.
They (Am7)fol low each oth er on the wind, (G)ya’ know,
’cause they got no where to go; that’s why I want you to know.
I’m start ing with the (C)man in the (C)mir ror,
I’m ask ing him to (C)change his ways.
And no mes sage could have (C)been an y (A)clear er: If you (D)wan na make the world a bet ter place, take a look at your self and then make a (C)change.
Na na na (D)na na na na (C)na na nah.
I’ve been a (D)vic tim of a self ish (D)kind of love; it’s time that I re al ize
that there are (G)some with no home, not a (Em)nick el to loan; could it be (Cmaj7)real ly me pre tend ing that they’re not a lone?
A wil low deep ly scarred, some bod y’s bro ken heart
and a washed out dream.
They (Am7)fol low the pat tern of the wind, (G)ya see,
’cause they got no place to be; that’s why I’m start ing with me.

About “Man In The Mirror”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Man In The Mirror"?
- 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 G. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.

- Man In The Mirror is arranged in the key of G on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Man In The Mirror" 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 G, 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 96 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.
