Product Description
This is a professionally engraved, performance-ready simplified transcription, tab arrangement, and full notation for 4-string bass guitar, acoustic guitar (violão), and electric guitar, all written in standard tuning (E-A-D-G for bass, E-A-D-G-B-E for guitars), for the emotionally rich ballad Sitting On The Edge Of The Ocean by the legendary Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler. Originally released on her 1981 studio album Goodbye to the Island, this deeply heartfelt pop-rock/country ballad showcases Bonnie Tylers signature raspy voice and lyrical vulnerability, and remains a hidden gem in her early discography.
This simplified arrangement is written in the key of B Major / G# Minor, closely mirroring the harmonic and melodic language of the original recording. The pieces tender melodic contour and lush harmonic underpinnings are preserved while being adapted for beginner to intermediate musicians who wish to experience this emotionally expressive song through bass, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar.
Every section of the song intro, verses, chorus, instrumental bridge, and outro has been carefully transcribed with musical clarity and playability in mind. The TAB notation is clean, accurate, and thoughtfully arranged, allowing players from different backgrounds to explore this classic with confidence. The bass part provides a warm and solid foundation, supporting the harmony with expressive low-end motion. The guitar and violão parts replicate the original chord voicings and arpeggiated textures in a guitar-friendly manner, providing just the right amount of complexity to challenge learners while remaining highly accessible.
This transcription is ideal for music students, educators, Bonnie Tyler fans, pop-rock enthusiasts, and anyone looking to add a lesser-known but powerfully emotive love song to their repertoire. It is especially useful for performers who want to create stripped-down acoustic renditions of studio tracks or explore songs beyond Bonnie Tylers mainstream hits.
Bring the spirit of early 80s soft rock to life and connect with the heartfelt vulnerability of Bonnie Tyler through this simplified and expressive sheet music and tablature arrangement. Perfect for players who seek emotional depth, musical simplicity, and memorable melody in their performances.
