Lyrics

Rhi an non She is like a bell through the night, and (F)would n’t you love to love her?

Takes to the sky like a bird in flight, and (F)who will be her lov er?

All your life you’ve nev er seen a wom an tak en by the wind.

Would you stay if she prom ised you heav en?

Will you ev er win?

an non She is like a cat in the dark, and (F)then n’t she is to the ness.

She rules her life like a fine sky lark and (F)when the sky her is less.

All your life you’ve nev er seen a wom an tak en by the wind.

Would you stay if she prom ised you heav en?

Will you ev er win?

Will you ev er win?

Rhi (F)an

(Am)non.

Rhi (F)an

(Am)non.

(Am9)Dreams un wind; love’s a state of (Am)mind.

(Am9)Dreams un wind; love’s a state of (Am)mind.

Rhiannon — Classic Piano Sheet Music

9 people have learned this song

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with minor-key grooves — your left hand drives the whole thing with an octave bass pattern at 126 BPM, so start by drilling that hand alone until the Am-to-F and F-to-C root jumps feel automatic in your muscle memory.

The chord set is compact (Am, Am9, C, F), but don't let that fool you: the Am9 voicing asks you to hold a familiar Am shape while stretching to add that ninth, so isolate that transition slowly until the reach feels natural.

Your right hand will settle into a steady pop-rock rhythm, but watch for moments where the melody syncopates against the bass octaves — tap both rhythms on your lap away from the keyboard if they start to tangle.

Use the sustain pedal lightly on each chord change to keep things warm without muddying the bass.

Loop the Am–Am9–F passage at half tempo until it's effortless, then bring it up to speed.

This is the piece that'll lock in your ability to move smoothly between minor and major tonalities while keeping a rock-solid rhythmic pocket — a skill you'll use in dozens of songs after this one.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?

You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, 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 126 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.
