Piano Cheats

This song by Michael Buble is in 2 keys: F and Bb.

To keep the video as short as possible, the illustration below does not start from the beginning (verse).

It starts from the chorus instead (Part 1), since the verse is repeated in the song after chorus in Part 2.

The song goes into Bb key from Part 3 onwards.

Part 4 is just Part 1 played in a different key.
