Canary Yellow Canoe 1

I've got some good matchups that I would like to post, but I have to fulfil one more promise. The next matchup was suggested by another fellow corfider. I'm not sure why he chose to match them up, but I do believe both are played in C (chord configuration with the capo on the second fret for all you musicians who are now thinking the songs are not actually in the key of C). Here is the matchup, which do you like the most:

It's Worth Believin'

Seems like a tough one. They're both great songs.
