My Chord Finder
This chord transposer moves a chord sheet to a new key in the browser. Paste the chords, set both keys, then copy the result or download TXT and piano MIDI.
01 / INPUT
Paste a plain chord line or a chord sheet with bracketed chords such as
[Am] inside lyrics. Separate plain chord lines with spaces, commas,
barlines, or new lines. On lines with bracketed chords, only the bracketed parts transpose.
Limit: 512 chords · 20,000 characters
02 / SET THE KEYS
Choose an original and target key, or ask for a suggestion and verify it by ear.
Mode is a manual key label; it does not convert major chords to minor chords.
03 / CHANGE KEY
Roots and explicit slash basses move together. Chord order, separators, and quality stay in place.
04 / RESULT
C G/B Am7 F
Result and MIDI use sounding concert pitch.
Ready to transpose 4 chords.
Chord diagrams will appear here after the result is ready. Unavailable voicings are labeled.
CAPO SHAPES
These are chord shapes lowered by the capo fret. The main result and MIDI stay in sounding concert pitch.
Chord parsing and exports run in your browser. No account, saved history, or daily-use limit.
Each root and slash bass moves by the same number of semitones. Capo shapes are sounding chords lowered by the capo fret. MIDI remains in the sounding key.
You can transpose chords online, from a short progression to a complete chord sheet. Choose a semitone shift to see the new chord names immediately. Chords in brackets can sit inside your own lyric lines. Use Match input to keep the input's note spelling, or choose sharps or flats for a consistent output. Copy the text for rehearsal notes, print the chart, or download an SVG chart with chord diagrams alongside the plain text file and piano MIDI sketch.

Chord-sheet example: [Am] Keep the [F] rhythm moving / [C] through the [G] night
The transposer preserves chord order, separators, lyric text, and each chord's quality.
A root and its explicit slash bass both move by the selected number of semitones, so
G/B remains a slash chord after the shift. The target-key controls change
the roots; Original mode remains a manual key label and does not convert major chords
to minor chords.
The MIDI download contains piano block chords using the chosen tempo and beats per chord. It remains in the sounding target key; it is a practice sketch, not the source song's rhythm or melody and not a guitar fingering transcription.
Keep a two-key reference beside your sheet with the chord transposition chart.
The parser recognizes these 19 chord qualities: major, minor, 7, maj7, m7, dim, aug, sus2,
sus4, 6, m6, add9, m9, 9, 11, 13, dim7, m7b5, and 5. Common aliases include
C, CM, Cmaj; Am, Amin,
A-; Cmaj7, CM7, CΔ7; and
C+, C°, C°7, Cø7. Add a slash note such
as C/E when the bass should be explicit.
Example: a +2 shift turns C G/B Am7 F into
D A/C# Bm7 G.
Yes. Put chord symbols in square brackets, such as [Am] or
[G/B], alongside your own lyric lines. Plain chord-only lines can use
spaces, commas, barlines, or new lines. On lines with bracketed chords, only the bracketed parts transpose. Audio uploads are not part of this tool.
Use Suggest original key to compare chord tones and first/last-chord clues, then verify the suggestion by ear. You can always choose the original key and mode manually; a suggestion is not a certainty about the song's tonal center.
Yes. Set Original mode to Minor, choose the original and target roots, and keep the chord qualities you entered. The semitone shift still moves each root and explicit slash bass by the same amount.
Note names can have more than one conventional spelling. Choose Sharps or Flats when you want one spelling family; Match input keeps the spelling style available from your input.
Separators and line breaks are retained, but a longer name can move the text that follows it. Bracketed chords keep their place in a lyric line as the chord text changes.
A capo value adds a separate chord-shape view: the shapes are lowered by that many frets while the main sounding result remains in concert pitch. MIDI still plays the sounding chords.
No. It places piano block chords at your selected tempo and beat length so you can hear the transposed harmony. It does not contain the source recording's arrangement, melody, or guitar fingering.
