Song Notes:
-----------
The low-end of the piano is augmented by (and, in many cases, substituted for)
the bass guitar notes which are essential for playing the song with or without
a piano. Billy's piano style is unusual, and his left hand leaves a lot of
work for the bassist to do by very often note providing the root note(s)
for what is being played. Consult my Guitar Pro tab to hear what I mean.
