By Bruce Hornsby. By Bruce Hornsby. Arranged by Karen Ivana. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Pop. 13 pages. Karen Ivana #1428868. Published by Karen Ivana (A0.1869515).This song was a surprise hit in the 1980s for Bruce Hornsby and the Range. The lyrics are a social commentary on issues of poverty and racism in the U.S. Despite the serious subject matter the song sounds upbeat and cheerful.
The piano contributes much to the song as recorded, and it remains so in this version. The piano part is on the demanding side, with a long intro, although the piano solo in the bridge section may be omitted or shortened if necessary.
The vocal parts are intermediate in difficulty, although at the more difficult end of the scale, with perhaps the biggest challenge fitting the many words in.
