I was doing SOOOO well but I have hit a brick wall now.

The verses and choruses transcribed great with capo on fret 1. No problem.

At the point the key changes, the chords are these -

Gb Cb Cbsus2 Cb Gb Cb Cbsus2 Cb Eb/Bb Bb Bbsus2 Bb

it then returns to the key of Eb. Trouble is , with a capo on the first fret these chords presumably become

Gb becomes F
Cb becomes?
Cbsus2 becomes?
Eb/Bb becomes D/A
Bb becomes A
Bbsus2 becomes Asus2

How do I deal with the Cb's???

help me guys...i am nearly there with this song...!!

Matt

Cb (enharmonically = B) becomes Bb
Cbsus2 becomes Bbsus2

Ok - with the capo on the 1st. fret you want to go down one half tone from notation. To be really annoying we could refer to the note you are looking for as a Cbb (a key with 14 flats if I count correctly...)

Easier:
Can you imagine a piano? The Cb is actually the same note as a B (since there is no blacks in between them). One half tone down from a B is ...? Jepp: a Bb.

Take it away, Matt! :)
