Here’s how to play “Take the "A" Train” on piano!

With these piano sheets, you can play the famous jazz standard “Take the "A" Train”.

"Take the "A" Train” was written by Billy Strayhorn, and became the signature tune of Duke Ellington, who regularly performed it with his orchestra.

It was also recorded by countless other artists, including Ella Fitzgerald.


This piano sheet music comes with the song’s full melody and lyrics - it sounds great when it’s just played instrumentally, but you can also use these sheets to accompany a singer, or sing along yourself!

Here are the full lyrics to “Take the "A" Train”:


“You must take the "A" train

To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem

If you miss the "A" train

You`ll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem

Hurry, get on, now it`s coming

Listen to those rails a-thrumming

All aboard, get on the "A" train

Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem”
