Subject: Chord Req: TELEPHONE GIRL
howdy folks.
I've been trying to work out the chords for the above tune and am a bit stuck near the end of the verse and in the chorus. Here's what I have so far, but I could use some help. The' C' doesn't sound quite right to me. TIA.

TELEPHONE GIRL
Blind Alfred Reed

G
My heart is broke, it ain't no joke
      D                   G      
I'm happy and I'm sad
   D
I feel so queer, I sometimes fear
         G
That thing will drive me mad
    G - C             G
A little girl with frizzen curls
         D                G
Came here a week ago

To work upon that telephone

And say hello, hello

Chorus:
G
Hello, hello, hello, hello
       D                      G
Her voice with music rings
      D
It's sweeter than the whippoorwill
                               G
That in the woodland sings      
G
Across the floor, beside the door
    D                   G
As I march to and fro
       C                           G
She leans upon that telephone
       D                G
And say(s) hello, hello
