Thanks for this awesome song! Didn't want to buy the music, but wanted to play on the piano. All is perfect except the intro, which is not the same as the verses, & starts 3 half steps down. Intro starts at F#, verses on A. The original song is written in the key of A. I love this song. Thank you again. Peace.
