Description
Notes From John
A 6/8 ballad at BPM = 147 that waits out the opening, then fills in with big, pedaled piano chords. Octave lines and a gliss in the chorus, and it ends on a held A.
For the player
John and Yoko’s 1971 single with Phil Spector. Use the pedal like the chart asks, but keep the chords out of the singers’ way. Stay under the vocal. At BPM = 147 the job is the feel.
Keyboard Sheet Music for “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” by John Lennon.
