Transposed chords are available, ranging from -5 to +6 semi-tones (i.e. frets) in order to cover the entire octave. Just click on the - and + buttons above the one-pager.

Transposed chords can be useful for a variety of purposes, for instance:

  • If you play guitalele (e.g. tuning ADGCEA) and want to play along with the song in its original key, use the -5 transposed chords
  • If you play guitar and want to play along with someone playing the standard chords of the song but with a guitalele, use the +5 transposed chords to play in the same key
  • If you want to play a song on a different key—to unlock easier chords for instance—just browse the transposed chords from -5 to +6 and pick your poison!

🚧 The format of the page looks broken in the transposed one-pager

This is one of the many trade-offs of this project. Indeed, the transposed one-pagers are created automatically based on the one-pager with the original key. Each one-pager is carefully formatted using monospaced fonts. However, when a chord is transposed, its transposed counterpart might be of a different length.

For example:

Chord Transposed Result
Em +4 G#m
G -1 F#
C# +3 E
Bb +1 B

Notice that, in these examples, the resulting transposed chord is always one character longer or shorter than its counterpart. These differences in length explain why the overall formatting might appear broken. Especially when those tiny differences accumulate, e.g. when there are a lot of chords on a same line.

Take this one for instance:

[Intro] (Dm Dm Dm Dm - Am Am E E x2) - E E
You're up but you'll get down
You're never running from this town

Notice how much further the chords extend once transposed to +4:

[Intro] (F#m F#m F#m F#m - C#m C#m G# G# x2) - G# G#
You're up but you'll get down
You're never running from this town
