Longer Boats
  by Cat Stevens, from Tea for the Tillerman

**Don't let the C/G scare you... play the G with your 3rd finger on the 6th string and 4th on the 1st string.  To play C/G, simply complete the C chord structure with your first and second finger.  Careful with the timing, the switches to C/G are very short, it seems just for the words "are" and "win," immediately after each of those words it goes back to G.
