Hello giantsfan1908.
Were you able to figure this riff out yet? John Denver actually starts the song by finger picking 4 notes in the "A" chord, then his lead guitar player plays this little riff to really get the song rolling.
I understand you would like to play it in the key of C. I am traveling right now so I cannot record it for you but here is where you need to play the notes:
slide up to the 9th fret, on the 3rd string,
then 1st finger on the 8th fret of 2nd string
repeat both of these,
then 3rd finger 10th fret, second string
then pull off from the 9th fret to the 7th fret on the 3rd string
last note ; 3rd finger on the 10th fret of the 4th string.
BTW, that last note listed is actually a C note so you will then be good to go in the key of C.
Hope this helps you out. If you would like a video of the playing, I can do that in a couple days for you. Just let me know.
Good luck!
