Hey Go Radio fans! This is "Birthday Song" as I figure it. I know there are
other versions that work, but I prefer this structure. To figure it out, I
listened to the bass line in the guitar that starts each little chord
arpeggio.

C: (x32010)  v[This is more convenient]
G: (320001)  G*: (355433) G**:(x20001)
Am:(002210)  Am*:(577555) ^[Use G* if you don't like this where I put it.]
Em:(022000)  ^[Gives the leading tone in the right octave. Same for G**]
F: (133211)

            F (133211@1)      G*                  CSwinging (x32010@1)to songs only he heard in his head
