Design custom chord shapes

The custom chord builder lets you create your own chord shapes, and use them alongside our large chord library. Create as many as you like, and for multiple instuments, too.

Change instruments

The instrument menu allows you to instantly change all the chord symbols of your song to another instrument. Great for challenging yourself to learn a new instrument!

Live Demo

Transpose keys

With a single click you can transpose the key of your song, and all the chord shapes will change instantly.

Change fonts & sizes

With the font menu you can style the lyrics of your song with five different font families, each with four different sizes.

Scroll hands-free, set a tempo, and zoom in.

The hands-free scrolling feature moves your song a pace you choose, so you can focus on playing, not your device.

The zoom tool allows you to fill your screen with your song. Easier to read, great for playing in groups.

The built-in metronome helps you stay “in the pocket” with an audible click, as well as a visual beat indicator.

Play on your desktop or iPad (or both)

The GoChords website gives you the tools to build and refine your songs. The GoChords iPad app lets you take your music anywhere — even places where you don't have an internet connection.

Share your lead sheets with others

GoChords gives you a number of ways to share your creations with others. You can share a link via email, or join or form a GoChords group to share songs with your fellow group members. There's even a GoChords widget that lets you embed your song on an external site, like your own blog.
