I was down at the New Am ster dam,
star ing at this yel low haired girl.
Mis ter Jones strikes up a con ver sa tion with a black haired fla men co dan cer.
You know she danc es while his fa ther plays gui tar, sheβs sud den ly beau ti ful.
And we all want some thing beau ti ful.
Man, I wish I was beau ti ful.
Mis ter Jones and me tell each oth er fair y tales and we stare at the beau ti ful wo men.
Sheβs a look ing at you, oh, no no, sheβs look ing at me Smil ing in the bright lights,
com ing through in ste re o.
When ev βry bo dy loves you,
you could nev er be lone ly.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes β "Mr Jones" 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 C, time signature, beams, dynamics β 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 β 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 β slow the tempo from 132 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 β 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.
