Best Answer

Play in the key of C major. The only notes you play are A,B,C,D,E,F and G.

If the tune was G,F#,G,A,G then that would probably be in the key of G as it ends on G and it has F#. Because G is a major 5th above C, move all the notes down a major 5th and you get the tune C,B,C,D,C which is in the key of C.
