Thanks for such a great arrangement of this beautiful song

This is a great song by Carole King. I was a bit disappointed that the ending is not the way I was used to hearing Carole King perform it. However, if you are a little creative, you can beef up the ending a bit. Otherwise, this is a great song, not difficult to play.
