"Baby"
Wyclef Jean
This one has those rock changes you hear everywhere, I-V-vi-IV, with a discordant
transitional chord thrown in from V to vi. It's optional if you find it too much
trouble. C/C# might not be the right name for it (or even the right chord), but
it works well enough--that said, let me know in comments if you have a better
idea. To play C/C#, you can slide your index finger up to fourth fret (if playing
the barred version of C), or slide your ring finger up to 4th fret (for the open version).
