Could It Be Magic by Barry Manilow
Could It Be Magic by Barry Manilow with Chopin Prelude
I took from 4 or 5 different sources, took the best parts, modified some other parts, and put them together
into what's below. I don't know if all of the chord names are correct, but should be close.
What's been interesting is discovering the many different ways of playing the same chords. The Prelude
& Postlude were based on Chopin's Opus 28, No. 20.
