The Power Of Love — Piano Lead Sheet
9 people have learned this song
"The Power Of Love" lead sheet with chords, melody, and lyrics. Play the melody while following chord symbols above. Perfect for sing-along or accompaniment. Key of C, 116 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for navigating borrowed chords — you'll move between C major territory and darker colors like Ab, Bb, Eb, and Cm7, so get comfortable finding those flat-key shapes quickly.
Your left hand drives an oompah bass pattern throughout, alternating root notes with upper chord tones at 116 BPM, which means it needs to be relaxed and steady before you layer in the right hand.
Start hands-separate and loop the verse progression slowly until the Ab-to-Bb-to-C climb feels automatic under your fingers.
Watch the Fm9 and Gsus4-to-G7 transitions especially — those are the spots where most students hesitate and break tempo.
When you put hands together, drop to about 80 BPM and only speed up once your left hand feels like autopilot.
Use light sustain pedal to smooth chord changes, lifting cleanly on each new bass note so nothing muddies.
This is the piece that'll make borrowed chords feel like home in your playing.
