AFAIK, at least in germany lower case letters are used
for minor chords, so the example above would read as

C / C/E / C / E / a
or even
C / C/E / C / E / am

Not to speak about accordion, where upper case letters
denote the bass note and lower case letters the chord.

So you'll have (depending on the rhythm)

C c c c / _E_ c c c / C c c c / E e e e / A am am am

IMHO, there is no /overall/ standard for writing chords.
