Hello World

I first found this song through the children’s TV show Yo Gabba Gabba, originally performed by Sal Masekela. Here’s a link to the original video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBgIPnA9oMU

To play it in the original key, I played guitar chords in the key of C, capo on the first fret. The chords are: Verse- C Am F C G, Chorus- F C G, Ending- F C F G C.

Here’s another video presented as a sing-a-long showing the guitar chords and lyrics- https://youtu.be/rvfC5FEq5Uo?si=HVcIA7XA9Ea01P7x

Of course you can also play “Hello World” on the piano using the same chords, but it will sound one half step higher than the original.
