Is there a program out there that will easily transpose the key for me? Let's say the sheet music is in G, but I want the first chord to be E or something...is there an easy (lazy man who's not that great with music theory) way to have a program transpose all the chords of the song accordingly if I plug in a different starting chords?

Thanks!

Here's a site I use if I find a song online. Just cut and paste, it works very well. http://logue.net/xp/

That's cool, Jim. I especially like the part where you click on a guitar chord symbol and it rotates through alternate ways to play the chord. Nice feature!

Why not use the number system, then its easy to transpose.

I'm not the swiftest one with numbers but I've got to the point I use them almost exclusively and it has made it much easier, at least for me.

but Jack, the number system requires that you can count past 4...

It's really worth the effort to learn to do it in your head.
You can't take your computer to a gig.
