Hal LeonardDavid Bowie Anthology Piano, Vocal, Guitar Songbook
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
David Bowie songbook arranged for piano, vocal and guitar. For players who want to sing and accompany the catalog rather than copy the original parts.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Singer-pianists building a set of Bowie material
- Guitarists who need chords and lyrics in one book
- Learning vocal melody lines alongside accompaniment
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitarists wanting note-for-note tab of the original guitar parts
- Solo piano players — the arrangements assume a vocalist
- Bassists or drummers; those parts are not written out
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Guitar chord frames, not tablature
You get chord shapes to strum through the song, not the recorded riffs and solos transcribed.
Detail 03
Anthology format
A career-spanning collection rather than a single album, so material varies widely in era and difficulty.
Detail 04
Standard notation with lyrics
You need to read music for the piano part. Guitarists can work from chord symbols and lyrics alone.
Detail 05
$27.99
Priced as a full multi-song collection rather than a single-song sheet, so cost per song is low.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this have guitar tab?
No. It uses chord diagrams above the staff. For transcribed guitar parts you would need a dedicated guitar tab edition.
02Can I play these on piano alone without singing?
You can, but the melody is written for voice. Playing it solo means picking the melody out of the vocal line yourself.
03Are the arrangements in the original keys?
PVG collections are generally set in singable keys, which sometimes differ from the recording. Check the key before committing to a set.
04Which songs are included?
It is an anthology drawn from across Bowie's catalog. Contents span multiple eras rather than focusing on one album.
