Topic: Key of A
Hello all. I am new to the forum. Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this or not. I am looking for some ballads written or played in the key of A. Thanks.

I'm guessing the mods of this section will move your post to song requests, but meanwhile here's a song to get you started
Ben E. King- Stand By Me

Hi Parrot and welcome to Chordie,
You can also change any song you want into the key of A by using the transpose button to the right of the song.

Thanks. I usually like to stick to the original key unless of course there are the evil twins sharp and flat present.

There's three evil twins sharp in the key of A. 
Someday we'll win this thing...

True. That's why I stick to the A D E chords with the occasional F#m thrown in like in the "Stand By Me" song. That chord gives me fits as I can never play it with a clean tone. Guess I need to work on my forearm strength.

maybe the neck's too wide or the action is too high. But you shouldn't limit yourself to a few chord shapes.

Hi Parrot, welcome to chordie, if you go to the top of the acoustic section you'll see a sticky for a chord conversion chart
