Thank you for this! Glad to see a karaoke version that uses the key Raul Esparza sang in the 2005 revival
Thank you for your comment!
Thanks for clearing that up
Brilliant. Best I've heard.
Merry
Thank you!
And hee hee.. it took me a while to notice that you've written Merry instead of Marry ;) :)
Is this the original Key?
I played this one in C major. I don't know which key is the original
