How to use:

l)Find what key your song is in, the best indication is to find what chord it ends on, this will nearly always bethe key the song is in.

2) Find the key in the top green row, if for example it is in A look down the column under A and you will seethe chords Bm, C#m, D etc, these are the chords most commonly used in this key.

3)Look for the Key in the top green row which corresponds to the key you want to convert to. For example: Ifyou want to convert to C look along the rows to the C column and use the chords in the same row.

So A becomes C if the next chord in your song is Bm in C you will play Dm and for D play F, for E play G etc.

The 5th degree chord (E.g. G in key of C) is often played as a 7th (E.g. G7th in in C), although this is notspecifically mentioned in the table just add the 7th if your original key has it
