Default Idiot beginner can't find correct octave on piano

Hi Folks.

I'm a raw beginner, and I'm trying to teach myself to play Hallelujah on electric piano from a youtube video.

I have what I suspect is a highly embarrassing question to ask.

The video (youtube title ""Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen - beginner piano arrangement + free score!"; note that I haven't done enough posts to include a URL here) shows the right hand beginning with the G between C3 and C4. This would be G3, right?

In the video's comment section is a pointer to the sheet music on Musophone (again, I regret that I'm not allowed to post a URL.

The sheet music shows the first right hand note as being the G above middle C.

But, middle C is C4, isn't it? So, wouldn't the first right-hand note be G4?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Ralph

P.S. Please forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong subforum.
