A slow ballad from Madonna, ‘Take a Bow’ hit #1 around the world. It was recorded with a full orchestra which suggests that there would be sheet music for this somewhere on the internet, but it was much more fun to try and work it out 🙂 I doubt it’s perfect, but i hope you enjoy the rendition below.
