Guitar Chords and Tabs

‘The Muffin Man’ is an extremely easy 3-chord song in a major key. We suggest the key of C major, as all three chords C, Dm and G are essential for beginners.

The melody range that results when singing in the key of C is a sixth from G4 to E5 (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 C#, D, Eb or E major by placing it respectively on fret I, II, III, or IV.
