Fast As You by Dwight Yoakam Piano - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1786368

Bring the high-octane energy of the Bakersfield sound to the stage with this professional Performance Lead Sheet for Dwight Yoakam’s "Fast As You." This chart provides the essential, complete form of the song laid out in a continuous, unrepeated sequence—no missing sections, no awkward jumps—ensuring a smooth and high-energy live performance. It features the complete, swaggering melody, all rhythmic lyrics, and the precise, driving chord changes (centered in E Major) that fuel its honky-tonk rock foundation. Crucially, the sheet includes transcriptions for the iconic, blues-infused opening guitar riff and the blistering instrumental solos, allowing you to capture the song's distinctive retro-cool vibe and relentless groove. This is the indispensable resource for musicians seeking to master the full scope and punchy attitude of this 90s country-rock masterpiece.

What is a “performance lead sheet”? A performance lead sheet streamlines chords, melody, and lyrics into a single continuous layout for tablets, eliminating repeats, D.S.’s, and codas so performers can simply page forward through the entire song. Each section—verse, chorus, bridge, and so on—is clearly labeled with rehearsal markers for quick navigation. The only repeats are self-contained vamps, kept on a single page to avoid page-turning backward. The goal is to make performing easier by presenting the song in its complete, best-known form so musicians can focus on playing rather than remembering forms or tricky sections. I originally created these for my own cover band, and they’ve made last-minute additions far more manageable. I hope they help you, too.
