Default Cora 'ngrata

I ran across this exquisite performance of an old Italian folk song called Cora 'grata (Ungrateful Heart). I found a couple of solo finger style arrangements but none in the Key of C which seems ideally suited to the material. Before I go through the PITA (for me anyway) transcription from another key does anyone know where to purchase an arrangement in C?

Thx
Cincy

Why do you consider the key of C as preferable over Em as in the video? Do you have another performance you have heard in the key of C?

I do a lot of Italian folk songs, although not this one. It's difficult actually, really more of an art song than folk, as many of the Neapolitan ones are.

My guess is you'd have to just do your own. Are you wanting a solo guitar arrangement like the video, or simply something to sing over? If the former, then yes I'm also wondering why the key change?

The introduction is in a minor key but the body of the song resolves to C at 0:34.
