The Power Of Love — Classic Piano Sheet Music
9 people have learned this song
Read "The Power Of Love" by Huey Lewis & The News in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of C. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 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.

- 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.
