My Fair Share: Lead Sheet Digital Sheet Music

Seals and Crofts wrote songs with real harmonic sophistication buried inside radio-friendly melodies. A lead sheet of their work gives students and musicians a clear window into how professional songwriters think about chord progressions and melodic phrasing.

The song carries the polished sophistication of 1970s soft rock, with a melody that sits comfortably in the voice and harmonies that feel both modern and warm. There's an ease and confidence to the writing that makes it feel approachable while still rewarding careful musical attention.

Vocalists and instrumentalists looking to expand their repertoire with 1970s pop-rock material will find this lead sheet direct and useful. Solo performers, combo musicians, and arrangement students can all benefit from having this song in a clear, playable format.

• Study the chord symbols carefully for jazz or jazz-adjacent voicings; Seals and Crofts often used seventh chords and suspended harmonies that reward thoughtful accompaniment choices.
• Listen to the original recording to understand the rhythmic pocket and melodic phrasing before interpreting the lead sheet; their grooves sit slightly behind or ahead of the beat in ways that define the song's character.
• Pay attention to any slash chords or bass notes indicated in the lead sheet, as these details shape the harmonic color and movement.

Include this in a recital or concert that surveys 1970s songwriting or popular music history. It pairs well with other folk-influenced pop repertoire from the same era, and works equally well as a solo feature or as part of a combo or small ensemble program.
