Great Balls of Fire
on: June 03, 2009, 03:19:33 PM
Hello
I am looking for a GOOD version of this. It is pretty easy to find a very simplified version of this, but i have never seen in sheet music a version that matches Jerry Lee Lewis style.

Does any one have (or know where to get) a fancy authentic version of Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis

Please let me know

Thanks

Just hammer the sh*t out of the I, IV, V chords of any key and you've got it. ;D

Oh and I forgot, throw in a few glissandi and foot stomps as well.

I have found only very simple arrangements on the net for free and it appears that good piano versions are only available after purchase, and unless you find one of these by accident for free then I think you may have to buy this one old chap.
