And maybe every year or so I'll drop a card to you
To tell you I'm still listening so sing it pretty Sue

If C is a difficult key for you to play in, try these with the
same chord pattern (1-5-4-1-5-1-4-1-4-1-5-1-5-1):
CAPO: 6th Fret / Key: C# (Db) / Play: G or
CAPO: 4th Fret / Key: C# (Db) / Play: A
I thought this might help, I can play nearly anything in
G. See ya!
