Technically no! If you play at a bar, club, or party house they must pay to have music played at their establishment, otherwise the music police can shut them down. However the music police rarely go after the performer(s) in those instances. They will go after you if you record a cover song, with or without the purchase of sheet music, and try to sell it or post it on-line.

The pay the royalties clause is why PGMusic and many other sites do not allow covers to be played on their sites.

Do not let this scare you. If you are playing is small venues, nursing homes, retirement homes, VA places, etc you have nothing to worry about. I have played out in party houses, bars, clubs, basically you name it and I probably have played there for many years with no problems.
