I'll Fly Away
Chords, Lyrics, & Sheet Music for Piano
I'll Fly Away chords & lyrics & piano sheet music - an arrangement for piano, in the keys of G and F, guitar tabs in G and D, and a lead sheet which includes a duet, so far just in the key of G.
You have never heard this satisfying piano arrangement before - very pretty and full of energy! I always loved the lyrics of this song, but never had seen a piano arrangement that I liked to play.
Hear the arrangement, in F:
I always believed this song sounded best on guitar, and that pianists should just leave it alone. With the usual church hymnal arrangement, this is a stodgy and lame-sounding song, not joyful and triumphant like it should be.
But I was asked to play "I'll Fly Away" for a memorial service a couple years ago, and decided I was going to FIX that impossible arrangement.
Success! I never liked to play this song before, and now I do!
The trick to making the melody move along quickly is the open, flowing left hand chords. See the close-up of page one, below:
The left hand is playing octaves and tenths, for the most part, and doing a bit of "pivoting" on the second and fourth notes in the pattern. Not heavy-sounding, and the faster you can play it, the faster the song can go!
This is not a particularly EASY piano arrangement... just effective and fun!

And the lead sheet plus duet combo:

Still under copyright...
It turns out that, unbeknownst to me, this song is STILL UNDER COPYRIGHT. It's been up on my site for a bit, until an alert musician wrote to share this news with me. (I'm usually very careful about copyright, but in this particular case I fooled myself, perhaps because of the old-timey feeling of "I'll Fly Away.")
I am very sorry, but I cannot give it away for free.
SheetMusicPlus has publishing rights to it, and I do make arrangements for them, so I re-did some sheet music details and have placed the music over there, for sale. It is $5.00, of which I will receive 50 cents.
