The Accompanist - Musical Theatre Piano Karaoke | FOR HER from THE GREAT GATSBY (Jeremy Jordan) Piano Accompaniment in C [Karaoke Lyrics Onscreen] @TheAccompanist | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
FOR HER from THE GREAT GATSBY (Musical) as sung by Jeremy Jordan.
Piano Accompaniment in C.
Karaoke Lyrics Onscreen (or turn on CC/Subtitles).
This is a piano accompaniment of the song For Her taken from the 2024 Broadway musical The Great Gatsby. Words and Music are by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen and the show's book is by Kait Kerrigan. The version is to replicate the Broadway version of the song first performed by Jeremy Jordan. This has been done by ear as there is no available sheet music when I first produced this video.
Lyrics (my transcription)
I’ve done it all for her
Put up each wall for her
All the plans I laid
All the options weighed
Every price I paid for her
I went to war for her
Braved foreign shore for her
Bottled up the guilt
Then I went full tilt
Rivaled Vanderbilt for her
Daisy
You fight and return
Only to learn that you
Have lost her
Daisy
My waiting is through
If you bring her to me
I’ll be indebted to you
[Dialogue section]
[Sung]
I’ve come so far for her
The finest caviar for her
Everything I own
Every party thrown
All the nights alone for her
Daisy
She slipped through my hands
No one understands
How she has changed me
Daisy
I need one more chance
If you bring her to me
I will know at a glance
[Dialogue section]
[sung]
Do this good turn for me
And I can guarantee
When all is done I’ll be
Forever in your debt
This time I won’t let go
Help me to make it so
Try as one might, you know that
There is no forgetting her!
Daisy
You fight and return
Only to learn
That you have lost her
Oh Daisy
I need one more chance
Am I chasing a dream?
I will know at a glance
[Dialogue section]
[sung]
I’ve done it all for her
Put up each wall for her
But the status quo
Just one piece to go
Now she has to know
It’s all for her!

British pianist and arranger Tim J. Spencer has created, in The Accompanist, a collection of Piano Accompaniments of Musical Theatre and Popular Music songs.
These Broadway and West End accompaniments have been specifically performed to match the tempos of the original (cast) recordings where possible. These karaoke style tracks have been created to give the audition performer the sound of what is likely within an audition environment where often we are not faced with a full orchestra but simply a pianist. Therefore the songs can sound very different to the fully orchestrated version.
The tracks are designed to be used either in performance or as practice for auditions. You are more than welcome to use the track to create your own YouTube cover of the song. If you could put a link back to this video in your description that would be amazing of you. I'm creating a playlist on my channel page of covers using The Accompanist's tracks so let me know if you do a cover using it and I'll add it to this channel's covers playlist.
