Ahead By a Century - New Key

Hi Rock Band players!,
      I met with the singers today at recess and we figured out a key for them to sing that is much more manageable than the one we were trying. We'll be doing the song in G from now on. What does this mean for you? If you play bass, piano, or guitar, then you'll have a whole new set of chords to learn. You can get around this if you have a capo. You just have to put your capo on the 5th fret and the problem is solved. If you don't then please check out this link for the new chords. The chord names are correct in the link but not the shapes. If you need some help, come see me on Thursday at big recess.

Thanks,
Mr. K
