Displaying all reviews (4)have always adored this song...can remember listening to it while riding in my parents car on their 8-track player (!) this is a great arrangement and am loving playing it.
sueriley
Easy arrangement and a sentimental group favourite. My vocal class sang this at a coffee house with the audience joining in- an easy song to teach to a group of young singers. You could give this arrangement to a student to accompany a small group of singers and it would be a heartfelt performance!

Just what the band needed to get all of the (chord) changes accurately. Perfect. Thank you Musicnotes. We used the key change feature to tailor the song to the lead singers vocal range. Great!
