Does anybody know where (if?) I can get sheet music online? I am specifically looking for ‘Sit on my Face’ by Monty Python. I’ve tried a Google search and didn’t come up with anything useful, so any tips from the TM would be appreciated. ---

You must not have tried “sheet music source.” Here is only the top hit of many. [http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/](http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/) ---

If you are looking for the basic song structure and lyrics you may want to search for tablature (or tabs). Unless you actually want to purchase the physical sheet music as you probably won’t find sheet music as a web page per se. Most songs can be found in tabs of one form or another, though they may contain only chords and lyrics (little or no arrangement). Look at [http://www.nutz.org](http://www.nutz.org) under “Tabs” for starters or do a search for tablature in you favorite search engine. And always look on the bright side of life… ---

What I do when I want sheet music (though it’s usually piano classical) is find the MIDI. Then I use my notation program, Encore, and view it and print it. Cakewalk is another program that actually puts it on the staves a little more neatly, but I use Encore because I’m a little more familiar with it. So, in conclusion, you could download a Cakewalk demo or there are other notation programs that are free, and then find a MIDI of Sit on My Face and open it with that. Of course, with this method, you’ll forgoe accent and dynamic marks, but if you’ve heard the song before you can probably get those down by ear.
