Can anyone help me find the piano music to 'Eaten by your lover' by the Kooks?

Question

I have tried to work out how to play it from ear, but it just isn't working! If anyone can help that would be really, really great.x

Apart from specialist music shops, you might try 'Sibelius' as a free download from the Internet. Type in Sibelius and you will get the usual installation instructions. For a complex program it does not take up much room on your hard drive.

The program comes with 'Sibelius Scorch' which allows for copying sheet music for printing onto A4 paper. You can even print 'blank' sheets of music staves if you wish to compose your own songs!

There are many categories from which to choose. Some, like classical pieces from long dead composers, or traditional songs which have no copyright, are free. Items with copyright have 'Demo' printed across the sheets if you do not pay a small fee - but they are still playable.

Current sheet music has to be paid for if you want to avoid 'the 'Demo' irritant. The fees are less than for sheet music bought in shops.

For your particular choice, once you have the program installed, you can carry out a search with key words e.g. Kooks. If the sheet music is available, you will get instructions on how to pay before printing can occur.

If the item you want is not there, Sibelius Scorch is still a great program to have. The print-outs are clear and of high quality. You can select from varying degrees of difficulty and the print-outs will oblige! You can see what you are getting on-screen before you buy. You can have prints with guitar and electric keyboard chords included if you wish.I have made booklets out of many multi-sheet scores. Most of mine are the 'free' versions which you will be able to see listed.

Sh! - but I have also been a 'cheapskate' and have taken photographs with a digicam of music on screen. Not such good print-outs but playable.

Good luck!
