An easy intermediate piano / vocal / guitar lead sheet of INXS “Never Tear Us Apart” with suggested keyboard / synthesizer part.
Music and lyrics by Andrew Farriss and Michael Hutchence. Arranged by Simone Collins. Key of A minor (original key).
This is another one of my Park Jam arrangements, from my second Park JAM session. This is one of my favourite ones to play since the synth accompaniment adds great atmosphere.
As with all my Park Jam series, I include a standalone lead sheet / fake book as well as the keyboard/synth score plus vocal score together in the piano / vocal / guitar set. The lead sheet is also available on its own.
What’s Included
The vocal line follows the original rhythm as closely as possible, rather than a simplified version that is more common.
The keyboard / synthesizer arrangement includes the strings, bass line (cello for the first verse and chorus, and from verse 2, electric bass) and the saxophone solo.
The first page of the keyboard arrangement is shown above. A sample of the lead sheet is shown here:
