SKU: A0.1897104

Capture the infectious energy, driving rhythm, and legendary 1970 Cosmo's Factory brilliance of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s "Up Around the Bend" with this professional Performance Lead Sheet. This chart provides the essential, complete form of the song—the definitive open-road rock anthem—laid out in a continuous sequence to ensure you master the driving flow from the iconic opening guitar riff to the final, high-energy chorus cycles. It features the complete, rhythmic vocal melody, the iconic "there's a place up ahead and I'm goin'" lyrics, and the foundational, major-key rock chord changes that define its signature sound, allowing you to capture the song's signature transition from a punchy, hook-driven verse to a world-class, high-energy rock-and-roll celebration. This is the definitive resource for musicians looking to master the technical pocket and pure, classic rock spirit of CCR’s most optimistic 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.
