Displaying all reviews (3)This score accurately reflects the piano and vocals in the original recording of this song. The piano part is quite difficult but it is also repetitive, so once you have mastered the basic patterns its not too hard from there.

This is great. It sounds just like the song itself. Highly recommended
Koolnenna
I was teaching a piano student who was interested in this song. I went to print it out for him (the digital version). I printed it in Bb (the original key). Then I noticed that you could print it out in other keys. Since he was still a beginner/intermediate, I wanted it in the key of C. However, Musicnotes.com would not let me print it in C. I tried over and over again until I was "out of attempts." A waste of money. Not sure Ill use this site again.
