By Billy Joel. By Billy Joel. Arranged by George Willson. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, Pop, Rock, Singer/Songwriter. Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 6 pages. George Willson #1329199. Published by George Willson (A0.1768800).Capture the dynamic energy and defiant spirit of Billy Joel's "My Life" with this professional Performance Lead Sheet. This chart provides the essential form of the entire song laid out in a continuous, non-repeated sequence—no jumps, no omissions—allowing for a smooth and accurate full-song performance. It includes the complete, fast-paced melody, all lyrics, and the precise chord changes that drive this classic track. Crucially, the sheet features transcriptions or essential cues for the iconic electric piano riff and the driving instrumental sections, ensuring you nail the song's unmistakable swagger and rhythmic complexity. This is the definitive, easy-to-read resource for musicians who want to master the full scope of this self-assured anthem.
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.
