I rode my bicycle past your window last night

Instead of playing A|-3-5-7---|, Play the A string in the THIRD fret, Then the A string SECOND fret, Then the A string OPEN, Then the E string in the THIRD fret to go from the C to the G7 Chord. REVERSE it to go from the G7 to the C Chord. Then play the A string in the THIRD fret. the D string OPEN, then the D string in the SECOND fret, and the D string again in the THIRD fret to go from the C to the F Chord, All relative to the CAPO of course. Would be so much easier to show in a diagram, but UG seems to dislike diagrams in the Comments Sections these days. Also, The G Chord comes in on 'right' on the line, 'Some people say I've done all right for a girl'.

The G should be a G7 in most places.
