If you want to play it in the right key transpose it up 2 semitones
This lyric "And if I grow , well I know I'm gonna be..." is actually "And if I grow OLD, well I know I'm gonna be..."
Fun song and my first comment!!!
Thanks for posting it
Hal
Agree with ARE1222 - the actual Proclaimers version is in E but fortunately, I sing it in THIS key, so thanks for posting - Tex
I think the last two lines should be transposed, so the Bm comes first and the tune resolves to D on the final "to you"?
Sounds better in the key of E
E ... A ... B... E
Give it a try
