Someone had a post the other day about song's keys and I was able to save the ones posted to my HD and I added them to this list and organized it. If you have ANY corrections or can figure out ANY of the ones with ??'s or ?'s by it please post and I will edit. I am trying to get this thing full and accurate. Maybe it could eventually be added to the site or something. So, here it is.. please reply with corrections.

I remember a thread about #41 where someone said the verse was in Em and the chorus was in G, and then someone said they're the same thing. I thought the whole song was in G personally.

I think Trouble's verse is in A, but the other parts are F# E G D and F# E A D. Might be A all the way but it really doesn't sound like it.

I'll be damned if Up and Away isn't in G, but I'm not entirely sure.

And I think that's all I've got now, it's early.
