😔 At the request of the track's copyright holder, the minimum price is $3

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 PDFs.

More Coldplay

More Pop and Rock

The track is written in the C Sharp Major (a key with seven sharps) but transcribed in the equivalent key, D Flat Major (with only five flats), and uses basic major and minor chords D♭ A♭ G♭ B♭m E♭m7 Fm.

Its cyclical chord change (loop) highlights melodic development and is standard for rock music.

E♭m7 and Fm in the pre-chorus create secondary colors.

“Man In The Moon” is composed with a straight rhythm in common time. Accent strong beats.

Avoid learning both hands together in the very beginning; you will fail immediately and abandon the score.

The left-hand provides an accompaniment. Play any pattern here (chords, arpeggios, tremolo, ostinato).

maintains movement with tremolo ostinato.

The right hand imitates vocal delivery by Chris Martin of Coldplay: a predominant articulation is staccato.

In the bridge I put the whistle melody on ossia stave. You can choose to play "Oh-oh" or the whistle melody in the right hand. You can as well whistle it.

Much of the song’s aesthetic value is generated through unusual harmonization.
