There are a lot of variable involved, but if we're talking about your average three chord song . . .

. . . .try starting it in B, then going to C when you want to modulate. B is a surprisingly comfortable first position key. I play a lot of songs in B so I can have that low E bass note when I go to the IV chord. But lets say you want to start out in D then go to Eb. No problem, capo three and use your B to C fingerings.
