One Time (Easy version with lyrics and chords) beabadoobee










I have no ear for cluster chords and open-key pieces.
All my sheet music are accurate but simple, beginner-level transcriptions with lyrics. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them.
The right hand imitates the vocal delivery by beabadoobee: a predominant vocal style is *tenuto* but not legato.
Pitch inflections (slurred notes) should be played pianissimo.
The double sharp 𝄪 means raising the sharp note one more time so it's played on the next white key.
"One Time" is composed with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners; accent strong beats.
The left hand fulfills an accompanying role. Play any pattern (chords, arpeggios, tremolo). The instrumental is up to you to fill with some mess.
The melody has a rapid flow with sudden changes of direction, expressive pauses, a recitative style. The second verse even has a bridge within itself.
The harmony shows a tendency to unpredictability with frequent excursions into distantly related chords. _"One Time"_ is transcribed in the open key without any key symbols and uses only accidentals. The chords are *C D D7 A♯ Dm Dm7 F.*
The aesthetic value of a track is based on simple and appealing vocal over a messy harmony.
Of course I consider filling your *requests* of sheet music except for not popular tracks.
