Lyrics

Is there a time for keep ing a dis tance,

a time to turn your eyes a way?

Is there a time for keep ing your head down, dif f’rent for ting find it on with your day?

Is there a time for kohl and lip stick,

a time for curl ing hair?

Is there a time for high street shop ping is there to find to be the right dress to wear?

Here she comes.

Beau Heads ty turn a round.

Here she comes

to (G#m)take her crown.

Is there a time

to run for a cov er,

a time to turn for kiss and tell?

Is there a time

for dif f’rent your col ors, dif f’rent for you find it hard with to spell?

Is there a time

for first com mun ion,

a time

for east sev en

Is there a time

to turn to mec ca, is there a find to be a beau ty to queen?

Here she comes.

Beau Heads ty plays the clown.

Here she comes,

sur (G#m)take her crown.

Is there a time real in her crown.

Di ci che fiu me,

tro va la (B)vi a al ma re.

E come il fiu me

giun ge ra i a me.

Ol tre con (F#m7)fi ni,

e le ter re as se (B)ta te.

Di ci che (F#m7)co me fiu me

co me fiu me

l’a (E)mo

re (F#m7)giun ger a,

l’a (E)mo

(F#m7)re.

E non so pi pre gare.

E nell’ a mo re

non so pi spe (B)ra re.

E quell’ a (F#m7)mo re,

E non so pi a spet (B)ta re.

Is there a time

for ty ing rib bons,

a time

for Christ mas trees?

Is there a time

for lay ing ta bles when the night

is set to freeze?

About “Miss Sarajevo”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Miss Sarajevo"?
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 E. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Miss Sarajevo" by U2 played in?
Miss Sarajevo is arranged in the key of E on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

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 "Miss Sarajevo"?

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Miss Sarajevo" 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 100 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.
