The easiest way for ME to transpose a song is to use a method I learned when studying accordion, and I was responsible for transposing many symphonic instrument parts - such as a 'Bb' Clarinet part - to 'C' so it could be read and played by an accordionist ...

Take the key the song is written in - in this case Db - and write out the Db major scale -D♭ E♭ F G♭ A♭ B♭ C ... then beneath that write out the scale for whatever key YOU want to play or sing the song in ... let's say the key of 'G' - G A B C D E F#... lining up the notes of the 'G' scale directly below the notes of the Db scale so that the G is directly below the Db, the A is directly below the Eb, etc. etc. ... you now know what chord in the key of 'G' corresponds to the chord shown in the key of 'Db' ...
I know that well schooled and knowledgeable musicians here would be able to transpose more easily using the 'numeric' method, but as I said, this is the easiest way for ME ...
Good luck with the song ...

This song is fairly easy to perform in the key of C.

The site lets you transpose the key.

In the guitar made, click "Capo" on the right hand side, the window opens up and you can choose your key.

The only problem I have with that site is there is no way of printing anything out so I can work with the song on my keyboard. Not like many of the other sites. I really don't want to play a guitar along with the file - maybe it's just me, cause I'm very old. wink

Wow. To borrow a quote from the new Star Wars movie ... "Amazing ... everything you just said was wrong"
I may have paraphrased a bit, but I really take issue with that statement, Gary. Paints a bleak picture of us guys who love music.

Thanks Jerry, that will be a lot easier.
Cary, I subscribe to most of your comment, but i differ slightly, in that I love all the music, getting plastered, and the other thing, I forgot what that was !!!!

My "Backing Track" software at http://www.jososoft.dk/yamaha/software/btrack/index.htm will extract the chords from riffstation.com and convert these into several formats...

Give it a try...
