About “Underneath The Arches”

Why does the accompaniment for "Underneath The Arches" show falling notes?

What key is the piano accompaniment for "Underneath The Arches" by Bud Flanagan in?
The backing track is in Db at 120 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.

Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
