-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a cover of "Proud Of Your Boy" by Darren Criss, originally by Alan Menkin.
It is based off of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u9tub0zleg
The whole thing was done by ear and watching the video, so I'm sure this is correct. ^_^
Enjoy!
