How the chord finder works
- 1
Type the song
Its name is enough — the matching recordings come up to pick from. A YouTube link or an audio file works too.
- 2
Get its chords
The page lists the chords the song is built on, the key it is in and its tempo, before you press play.
- 3
Follow them in time
Press play and the chords move with the recording, the current one drawn large and the next one counted in.
Found from the sound, not from a database
Most chord finders look a song up in a list somebody typed. This one listens: the chords are worked out from the recording itself, so a song nobody has written down yet still gets its chords, and a live or acoustic version gets the chords it was really played with.
It names major and minor chords and dominant sevenths — the shapes most pop, rock and folk songs are made of. Richer jazz voicings come out as their nearest simple chord, which is usually what you would play on a guitar anyway.

Questions
- How do I find the chords of a song?
- Type the song's name in the box above and pick the right recording. A song already on the site opens straight away; a new one takes a minute or two.
- Does it tell me the key?
- Yes. Every song page shows the key and tempo next to the chords, and transposes the whole song to any other key.
- Can I find the chords for a cover or a live version?
- Yes — pick that video in the results, or paste its link. The chords come from that recording, in the key it was played in.
- Is the chord finder free?
- Yes, every song, without an account or a daily limit. Ads pay for it.
