I know I haven't been in this conversation and I definitely don't want to come off like a jerk but you should learn to transpose. If your aim is to become a musician whether professional or not it is a must. In this case just drop the notes cited by ronster a full step (2 frets) back to go from the one key to the other. And adjust positioning as seen fit. Transposing is a stepping stone toward furthering your musical education.

My man ronster beat me to the punch!

Ronster - You're a gentleman and a scholar!

Thanks ronster.

You're right Bill. I can transpose the chords fine, but I wasn't sure about the picking pattern.
