Misc. Notes The song starts in G minor (or B minor) and ends in G major (or B minor) which is the given key. -- The key signature on the cover would suggest that, yes ("in A" does not mean in A major, but the sharps do. As a rule though, we should use our ears, not what's written, and they're clearly in minor.)
