Guitar Chords and Tabs

‘Oh, Susanna!’ is an easy 3-chord song in a major key. We suggest the key of A major, as all the three chords A, E and D are essential for beginners.

The melody range that results when singing in the key of A is a sixth from A4 to F#5 (see on the Music Sheet following). This range is well suited to most children’s voice pitch. Nevertheless, you could use a capo to transpose to Bb, B, C or C# major by placing it respectively on fret I, II, III, or IV.
