Re: I shall be released!
Hi fleetwoodjazz and welcome to chordie's forum. Are you referring to Dylan's song?
If so, the chords are listed in the index and you can use the transposing tool to move it into C (then you won't have to muddle around with all those troublesome black keys).
Or, perhaps I totally misunderstand your question? James

Hi James,
Thanks a great deal, it is the song that I was referring to! I played my friend the Band's version and she kept asking me for piano notes so she can play it on her piano. She does't sing so I supposed it is a bit harder in this case to fulfill her wish!

I check out the above link and someone said that the piano version can be obtained via email, I just don't know who that person is. Thanks for caring and please bear with me as English is not my first language!

Hi fleetwoodjazz, dont' worry about the language . . . just say whatever you got to say.
Try this version of the song that is indexed under Dylan:
http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.u … ;id=342917
This version is a little more basic with fewer chords - generally, The Band's versions of Dylan's songs are 'fancied up' quite a bit since Robbie Robertson (their main guy) loved to create elaborate arrangements for his multi-talanted bandmates to show off their prowess.
While this version is not a note-for-note transcription of the song, a pianist who knows the chords can play it quite nicely by arpeggiating each chord and thumping down a bass line to suit.
However; if your friend is totally 'paper-trained' (must have written notes to play) perhaps this style of songsheet will not serve her purposes. Since she does not sing, I suspect she was subjected to years of piano lessons where the student was expected to simply play what was written and never deviate from what was on the page (a very effective way to kill a child's fascination with music).
The only way I can think of getting the formal 'real' music for this song would be to get a Bob Dylan songbook for piano . . . I am not familiar with any email piano note service from chordie, though.
Try googling something like 'i shall be released lyrics music piano' and you might find a site similar to chordie for painists? I suspect that somewhere out there in the wide wonderful web that there is a treasure trove of piano music awaiting your discovery.
Let us know how your search turns out . . .
