Published by George Willson (A0.1794263).Capture the brassy, high-energy swagger of Tom Jones’ "It's Not Unusual" with this professional Performance Lead Sheet. This chart provides the essential, complete form of the song laid out in a continuous, unrepeated sequence—no missing sections, no omissions—ensuring a tight and high-octane live performance of this 1960s pop masterpiece. It features the complete, rhythmic vocal melody, every brash lyric, and the sophisticated, jazz-inflected chord changes (centered around the iconic Cmaj7 - Dm7 progression) that define its swingin' London sound, allowing you to capture the song's transition from its bouncy intro to Tom’s legendary vocal belting. This is the definitive, performance-ready resource for musicians seeking to master the soulful "Vegas-ready" energy and rhythmic drive of this classic hit.
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.
