Why does the accompaniment for "One Way Or Another" show falling notes?

What key is the piano accompaniment for "One Way Or Another" by Blondie in?
The backing track is in D at 164 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
