No More Lonely Nights (Playout Version)

The sheets of music contain melody notes (with the lyrics underneath), piano notes (for both hands), chords and guitar tabs, all in the original keys (that's pretty much the standard for these kind of books).

The melody, the lyrics and the chords seem to be OK, as far as I noticed (I can't comment on the tabs, since I don't use them). However, I must admit I'm disappointed from the piano arrangements. They aren't as good as I hoped they would be, and I found myself playing from the chords instead (and I didn't have to buy the book to get the chords). I have recently bought (from Amazon UK) a British book called "Play Piano With... Paul McCartney" and the arrangements there were very good and pretty close to the originals.

All in all, it's a nice book to play the great songs of Paul McCartney from, but if you're looking for a piano book, I wouldn't recommend this one.

The book pictured shares the same title as a UK book that includes sheet music (the other Wingspan's cover shows two hands with fingers spread on the cover). The book above is a nice collection of photos and some commentary but contains NO sheet music. I ordered this book based on the customer reviews which appear to be reviews for the other Wingspan music book. The product description by Amazon, however, is correct.

Just wanted to point this out so someone else won't make the same mistake I did.

arrived as expected, book is good.
Why do they place the chords on the bottom of the music lines though???
