Woman β Classic Piano Sheet Music
10 people have learned this song
Read "Woman" by John Lennon in classic piano notation β both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of Ab. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 85 BPM.
This arrangement will really stretch your chord vocabulary β you're navigating 23 different chords across what amounts to two key centers, Ab and B, so expect a modulation that shifts everything up a half step partway through.
Your left hand plays a block bass pattern, which keeps things rhythmically straightforward, but the real challenge is nailing those smooth transitions between extended shapes like Ebmaj9, Cm7, and Fm7 without hesitation.
Start hands-separate and slow β maybe 60 BPM β and loop the four bars around each key change until the new chord shapes sit naturally under your fingers.
Watch the sus4 chords (Bbsus4, Ebsus4, Bsus4): hold the suspension long enough before resolving, because rushing through them kills the melancholic pull that makes this song breathe.
Use pedal generously but change it cleanly on every chord switch to avoid mud.
This is the piece that'll make jazz-flavored extensions like maj9 and m7 feel like home in your hands.

About βWomanβ
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Woman"?
- Yes β 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 Ab. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Woman" by John Lennon played in?
- Woman is arranged in the key of Ab on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Woman"?
- The arrangement plays at 85 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Woman" easy to play on piano?
- This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
- Can I download sheet music for "Woman"?
- Yes β registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Woman"?
- "Woman" was originally performed by John Lennon. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What chords are used in "Woman"?
- This arrangement uses 23 chords: A, Ab, B, B6, Bb, Bb6, Bbsus4, Bsus4, +15 more.
- What other songs by John Lennon can I play here?
- Try "HAPPY XMAS", "STARTING OVER", "MIND GAMES". 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 β "Woman" 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 Ab, 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 85 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.
