About this score
This score of Yankee Doodle is a short excerpt (the opening, or the first verse of the song), not the whole piece. It was written by SampLab Pro from the public-domain music. It is not copied from any printed edition, MIDI file or recording. We place our score in the public domain (CC0 1.0): anyone may copy, change, share and use it, including commercially, without asking. The left hand is our own simple accompaniment, made from the chords of the tune.
