Feeling Good - Michael Bublé version keys.
I purchased a copy of the sheet music to Feeling Good - the Michael Bublé version, but as soon as I downloaded it, I could see that they just stuck his name on the original sheet music version, which is far off from the version on his album "It's Time". The original key of the sheet music is G Major and there are two key changes. I am pretty sure that the first part needs to be in F# Major to be in the same key as Michael Bublé's recording, but the other two sections elude me. The last section may possibly be in E Flat Major, but I am unsure. The second section is simply so busy that I am having real difficulty finding the key. Is there anyone that can help me with this? I am on my second day trying to figure this out and it is doing my head in. Thanks.

Presumably, the two key changes shown in your purchased copy should suggest the new key signatures needed to match M. Bublé's recording. If G major (original key) becomes F# major (Gb major), simply transpose the other parts' key changes by the same interval.
So... for example, E major would become D# major (theoretically) -- or, more likely, Eb major.

Thanks. That is the strategy I took for the first part, and confirmed it by playing it on the piano. The E Flat Major should convert to A Major, but I am just not hearing it at all. The last part, which is A Major, should logically be moved to E Flat Major according to my calculations, but I think I will have to play that section on my C Melody sax before I can confirm.

OK... You provide more information.
So.. in the original purchased copy of the song you have G major, Eb major, and (last part) A major... yes?
You say first part needs to be in F# major - from G major, down a half step... yes?
So... the other parts also should be dropped a half step. That is, Eb major becomes D major and (last part) A major becomes Ab major.

Aahhh, OK. The song as published is in G Major, A Flat Major and lastly, A Major. So if I drop everything a half step, G Major becomes F Sharp Major, A Flat becomes G Major, and A Major becomes G Flat Major?

According to my Circle of Fifths, G Flat Major is the same as F Sharp Major, so for ease of reading, I could just transpose the last section to F Sharp Major?

F Sharp Major (G Flat Major) is not a half step lower from A Major.

A Major becomes A Flat Major -- down a half step.

Many thanks.
I'm confused as I think it's in a minor key. The Buble recording I found starts in E flat minor surely?
