the key doesnt matter because we use equal tempered tuning. any song can be played in any key as long as its stays major or minor.on a keyboard the key of "C" is your best bet because its just the white keys.what seperates the keys is the number of sharp notes,c=0,g=1,d=2,a=3,e=4. everytime you go up a fifth you add one more sharp and that sharp is a fifth above the last sharp note in that key.if you want to make it easy on you play just the black keys, this will put you in a sharp key but you'll be in a pentatonic scale, in other words any combination of notes sounds good.
