F#m7b5 Em Dm C2 Oh that we could always see, such spirit through th e year.

Because this song is less familiar, the melody is shown in red in verse 1 and thebridge. High B is where it starts ranging down about an octave, comfortable for most adults. It has “jazz” chords: F#m7b5, Abmaj7, and Db7#11 (substituted with Dbmaj7 on uke). Glance at their diagrams ↓ below and tell yourself “easier to play than say”. For Kenny Loggins and Chicago versions, use capo 3. The original Peanuts/Charlie Brown TV version would use capo 5. Grey ■ notes are for bass players or guitarist adding thumb notes.
