I have obtained a U.S. Copyright on the C chord at the first position. Now, I am magnanimously willing to share this treasured family heirloom, but only at a price. Everytime you play a C chord - at home, in concert, whatever - just send me 1 cent each time you use it. Now, one little penny isn't a lot of money for an important chord like that, so be honest and pony up your cash.

If you are currently strapped for cash flow, I also generously accept Microsoft stock, appreciated real estate, prewar Martins, and similar items.
