Get Rickrolled. Capture the unstoppable groove, bright 80s brass, and smooth-as-velvet baritone of Rick Astley’s "Never Gonna Give You Up" with this professional Performance Lead Sheet. This chart provides the essential, complete form of the song—the most legendary internet phenomenon and dance-pop masterpiece—laid out in a continuous sequence to ensure your performance keeps the dance floor moving from the first drum fill to the final iconic hook. It features the complete, rhythmic vocal melody, the earnest lyrics of commitment, and the driving Stock Aitken Waterman chord changes that define the quintessential "PWL" sound, allowing you to capture the song's signature transition from its bouncy verses to its globally recognized, anthemic chorus. This is the definitive resource for musicians looking to master the technical precision and infectious joy of the 80s’ most resilient 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.
