And if the dark ness is to keep
us a (Em7)part,
and if the day light feels like it’s a long way (Em7)off.
And if your glass heart should crack and for a sec ond you turn back,
oh no,
be strong.
Oh, oh, walk on,
walk on.
What you got, they can’t de steal it, no, (Em7)they can’t e ven feel it.
Walk on,
walk on.
Stay safe to night.
You’re pack ing a suit case for a place
none of us has (Em7)been,
a place that has to be be lieved
to be (Em)seen.
You could have flown a way, a (G)sing ing bird in an (Em7)o pen cage, who will on ly fly,
on ly fly for (E)free dom.
(E7)Oh, oh, walk on,
And I know it aches, and your heart, it breaks.
You can (E7)on ly take so much.
Walk

(D)Home,
hard to know what it is if you’ve nev er had one.
(D)Home,
I can’t say what it is, but I know I’m go ing home,
that’s where the hurt is.
And I know it aches, and your heart, it breaks.
You can (E7)on ly take so much.
Walk (Em7)on.
Leave it be hind,
you’ve got to leave it be hind.
All that you fa shion, all that you make,
all that you build,
all that you break.
All that you meas ure, all that you feel,
all this you can
leave that be hind.
All that you meas

About “Walk On”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Walk On"?
- 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 D. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Walk On" by U2 played in?
- Walk On is arranged in the key of D on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Walk On"?
- The arrangement plays at 100 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Walk On" easy to play on piano?
- Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
- Can I download sheet music for "Walk On"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Walk On"?

- Try "STUCK IN A MOMENT YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF", "BEAUTIFUL DAY", "BEAUTIFUL DAY". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Walk On" 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 D, 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.
