Originally inspired by a spiritual, "Stand By Me" was written and recorded in 1961 by famed RandB singer-songwriter Ben E. King. The catchy, soulful tune immediately went to #1 on the RandB charts, and ended up becoming a Top Ten on the Billboard charts twice -- once for its original release, and again in 1986 when it was used as the theme song for a movie of the same name. This song has been deemed "culturally and historically significant" and it has remained one of the most beloved songs in history for decades, so you can't go wrong having this one in your gig books! This Cellobat arrangement for string quartet maintains the fun groove, catchy melody, and joyful feel of the original, while adding in a number of beautiful harmonic and countermelodic layers that put this chart above and beyond the rest! Rated intermediate -- there are some fun syncopated rhythms throughout, but none of the parts go above 2nd position, and this will be playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals.

Why choose Cellobat Charts arrangements? For any musician who knows what they're doing, the answer is easy: just listen to them.

Here\'s how to play the famous English football anthem \"Three Lions\" on piano!

With this piano sheet music, you can play \"Three Lions (Football\'s Coming Home)\" on piano.
The full melody is included in the piano part, so it sounds great if it\'s just played instrumentally - but of course, you can use these sheets to accompany singers, or sing along yourself!

It\'s an accurate piano arrangement of \"Three Lions\" which is not too hard to play, and sounds fantastic.

\"Three Lions\" was recorded by The Lightning Seeds (whose lead singer Ian Broudie composed the music) and the comedians Frank Skinner and David Baddiel (who wrote the song\'s lyrics).

\"Three Lions (Football\'s Coming Home)\" came out in 1996, when the UEFA European Football Championship (\"Euro 96\") took place in England.
The lyrics (and title) refer to the three lions on the Royal Arms of England, which also appear on the England football team\'s emblem.

The chorus (\"Football\'s coming home\") can regularly be heard as a chant at English football matches.

\"Three Lions\" makes for a surprisingly good piano cover!

Here are the song\'s full lyrics:

It\'s coming home, it\'s coming home, it\'s coming
Football\'s coming home (We\'ll go on getting bad results)
It\'s coming home, it\'s coming home, it\'s coming
Football\'s coming home
It\'s coming home, it\'s coming home, it\'s coming
Football\'s coming home
It\'s coming home, it\'s coming home, it\'s coming
Football\'s coming home

[Verse 1: Frank Skinner]
Everyone seems to know the score, they\'ve seen it all before
They just know, they\'re so sure
That England\'s gonna throw it away, gonna blow it away
But I know they can play, \'cause I remember

[Chorus: All]
Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

[Verse 2: David Baddiel]
So many jokes, so many sneers
But all those \"Oh, so nears\", wear you down through the years
But I still see that tackle by Moore and when Lineker scored
Bobby belting the ball, and Nobby dancing

[Chorus: All]
Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

[Bridge]
England have done it, in the last minute of extra time!
What a save, Gordon Banks!
Good old England, England that couldn\'t play football!
England have got it in the bag!
I know that was then, but it could be again

[Refrain]
It\'s coming home, it\'s coming
Football\'s coming home
It\'s coming home, it\'s coming home, it\'s coming
Football\'s coming home
(England have done it)
It\'s coming home, it\'s coming home, it\'s coming
Football\'s coming home
It\'s coming home, it\'s coming home, it\'s coming
Football\'s coming home

[Chorus]
(It\'s coming home) Three lions on a shirt
(It\'s coming home, it\'s coming) Jules Rimet still gleaming
(Football\'s coming home
It\'s coming home) Thirty years of hurt
(It\'s coming home, it\'s coming) Never stopped me dreaming
(Football\'s coming home
