This is the same melody as before, but now we can play it in the key of C major. It's a bit more difficult because you have to make sure you are playing the 2nd string most of the time, but occasionally play the 1st string. And notice we end the song here with the C - E major 3rd interval to spice it up just a tad.

We are back in the key of E major and have the same melody on the E string, but the B string is doing something a little different. There's a little more depth to the piece now. Is that a good or bad thing? It's not necessarily either. Some melodies are suitable for rich harmony, but simple ones like this are usually fundamentally changed if such were added. For instance, try the following:
1 2 3 4 |1 2 3 4 |1 n 2 n 3 n 4 n|1 2 3 4 |
q q h |q q h |e e e e e e e e|q q h |
Ok, that's weird, right? Sounds almost like a different song. But again the melody is exactly the same.
