Hi, I am Rita. I transcribe piano sheets for popular music. All my sheet music are accurate but simple, beginner-level transcriptions with lyrics (singing is good for health) and harmonic chords. I consider reasonable requests. Sometimes I post free files, don't miss it!

Remember that the notation system was not intended to represent the sound of modern pop music with its layered vocal, computer-generated sounds, and inflections of modern electronic instruments. My piano sheet music can only show you the score within the boundaries of the twelve-note scale and a metered rhythm; alas, the pitch and rhythm have little to do with the aesthetic value of the track. Listen to the song before practicing to fully imitate the beauty of the song: its *timbre, phrasing, inflections.* Play the song, not sheet music. Sing a phrase before playing it on your keyboard.
Imitate the vocal delivery by Chris Norman and Suzi Quatro or it won't sound as the song. The vocal part is with pitch inflections (slurred notes). All inflected notes should be played very quietly.
A predominant vocal style is legato.
Notice that the original vocals were recorded before the autotune so the Suzi Quatro's pitches weren't corrected. For example, the initial B tone in the chorus (sO we begin, stUmbling in, bUrning within) is almost flat, between being flat and natural. You can play it as B♭ or as well as A.
"Stumblin' In" is played with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners; accent strong beats to maintain a steady pulse. Practice slowly along with the recording.
To keep listeners attention, the *chorus* of "Stumblin' In" was made to be the biggest part of the song. Play every part differently, as expressively as possible. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them focusing on emotions instead of sightreading.
A single vocal line accompanied by an instrumental part constitutes the entire musical texture. "Stumblin' In" has a semi-improvised, loosely organized and wandering melody and homophonic arrengement: the instrumental part provides a harmony to support the vocal but lacks its own melody.
"Stumblin' In" is transcribed in the original key, E Minor, and uses basic/extended major and minor chords Am D G Em.*
Notice the ellipsis (omitted chords). They are very important.
The aesthetic value of a melodic line is achieved through the use of stressed non-harmonic tone B-flat that resolves downwards. It sounds blue.
Of course I consider filling your requests of sheet music except for not popular tracks.
