Our second rule to try when figuring out a song by ear. You're playing the I chord. A change happens in the song. The I IV V rule doesn't fit quite right. Try the minor sixth.

Tip: Instead of counting UP six notes, try walking DOWN three notes. For example, from the C major, walk down to the A minor.
