SKU: A0.1813293

Capture the cinematic heartbreak and soaring emotional power of Phil Collins’ "Against All Odds" with this professional Performance Lead Sheet. This chart provides the essential, complete form of the song—the Grammy-winning theme from the film of the same name—laid out in a continuous sequence to ensure you master the building intensity from the lonely piano intro to the legendary drum-driven finale. It features the complete, soulful vocal melody, the raw "empty space" lyrics, and the sophisticated pop-ballad chord changes that define its iconic sound, allowing you to capture the song's signature transition from a fragile plea to a powerhouse rock anthem. This is the definitive resource for musicians looking to master the technical restraint and explosive climax of one of the 80s' most enduring ballads.

What is a “performance lead sheet”? A performance lead sheet streamlines chords, melody, and lyrics into a single continuous layout for tablets, eliminating repeats, D.S.’s, and codas so performers can simply page forward through the entire song. Each section—verse, chorus, bridge, and so on—is clearly labeled with rehearsal markers for quick navigation. The only repeats are self-contained vamps, kept on a single page to avoid page-turning backward. The goal is to make performing easier by presenting the song in its complete, best-known form so musicians can focus on playing rather than remembering forms or tricky sections. I originally created these for my own cover band, and they’ve made last-minute additions far more manageable. I hope they help you, too.
