Finding chords from notes in sheet music

kwere · 2006-06-28T19:08:38Z

I haven't played for a while but recently was asked to play guitar for a children's festival and was given music for three simple songs to play. The problem: there are no chords shown and I'm stumped trying to work out what they should be. I know enough theory to know the key signatures and from this can work out what chords are available but really aren't sure where to use them, e.g one song has two sharps so is in D major (or B minor?). The first three notes in the first bar are F sharp, E and D, so the opening chord is ... D, right? Any help would be appreciated. In Australia I knew people who could help with this kind of thing. However, I'm in South Korea right now with few musically literate friends.

Works beautifully in G with the capo on the 3rd fret.
Cheers mate and thanks again, or, in Korean, sugohaseyo and gomapsumnida.
