Transpose a chord sheet to fit your voice
The song is in C but your singer needs E♭. Shift every chord at once without retyping the sheet.

The job
A chord chart written for one key has to move when the singer's range says otherwise. Doing it by hand means rewriting every chord — and missing one.
Shift the whole sheet
Paste the sheet, pick the semitone distance (C to E♭ is −3 or +9), and transpose. Chord shapes like Am7, G/B and Dsus4 move; lyrics, headings and N.C. markings stay put.
- Sharp/flat spelling follows the source: a sheet written in flats transposes to flats.
- Capo math: transposing down 2 with a capo on 2 sounds like the original key.
Check the edges
Skim the output once. The tool transposes English-style chords only — Nashville numbers (1-4-5) and German H/B spellings are left alone, and a lyric word that happens to match a chord shape can occasionally move.
