Chord Transposer
The song is too high for your voice? Paste the chords, shift them by a few semitones and play the same song in a key that fits.
Transposed sheet
Bm G D A A man walked down [Bm] the road | D | A | Bm | G |
9 chords moved by +2 semitones.
How it works
- Paste your chord sheet: chords above the lyrics, a grid with bars, or chords in [brackets] inside the lyrics.
- Choose how many semitones to move, from −11 to +11. +2 turns C into D, −3 turns C into A.
- Pick sharps, flats, or let the tool follow the spelling of your sheet.
- Copy the transposed sheet and check the first and last chord to confirm the new key.
What people use it for
A singer's range
Move a song down two semitones so the chorus no longer hurts.
Playing with a capo
Transpose to an easier open-chord key, then put the capo where the original key lives.
Group playing
Give a horn player the sheet in their key without rewriting anything by hand.
Questions
- Which lines does it change?
- Lines that contain only chords (and bar lines or x2 markers), and chords written in [square brackets] inside a lyric line. A lone “A” inside a sentence is never touched, because a line with ordinary words is not a chord line. If a lyric line has no brackets, put the chords on their own line above it.
- Does it understand slash chords and extensions?
- Yes. The root and the bass note move together, so G/B up two semitones becomes A/C#. Qualities such as m7, maj7, sus4, add9, dim, aug and altered fifths like b5 are kept as written. Anything it cannot read as a chord stays as it is, so you can spot it.
- Sharps or flats?
- Pick one, or leave “Match my sheet”: the result uses flats when your sheet contains flats and no sharps, and sharps otherwise. The sounds are the same, only the spelling differs, and the tool does not choose the key signature a score would use.
