I have been transposing this song for about a week now.

I have not yet finished but I will say that the song is in the key of B.

I can give you the intro:

Bsus2/C#, Bsus2/G#, F#, E2, F#/Bb, B. (repeat)

I will update as soon as I figure the rest.

Oh, and there is a bridge in there that is quite difficult.  I will give you what I have on that:

Bsus2/C#, Bm7/D, Bsus2, F#/Bb, A, F#/Bb, B, E, C#/F, F#, G#, Bsus2/C#, F#/Bb, B

I hope this helps and it makes sense.

I am very sorry.  I typed my reply before I read the template.

Let me decipher what I posted earlier.  I play piano and usually play the base line with my left hand and the chords with my right.

Therefore, the chord to the left of the slash mark (/) is the right hand and the note to the right of the slash mark is the base note.

When I transpose, I always try to get the base line first.  Then I work on the chords.

Once again, sorry.
