Its laid out well which is nice. My main problem with it is it only goes through the first and last verse. This wouldnt be a problem for most songs but because the melody changes after the first verse to the next (that high note on "rhythm and blues" is never hit again in the song) its particularly worthless if youre a singer wanting to do the whole song. Still, if youre not a singer and just need the sheet music for piano, itll do fine. Just dont expect it to be scored vocally for any of the other verses.
