Hover any chord name on a chord sheet to see it on a piano keyboard, hear it, change inversions and transpose the whole song. Hover Chords is a free piano chord finder for Chrome. Hover any chord name on a chord sheet and a piano chord chart appears right on the page: the keys to press, the note names, and a button to hear the chord. Chord sheets and song websites are written for guitar players. When you're at the piano, a chord like F#m7b5, Cadd9 or D/F# means stopping to look it up. Hover Chords turns every chord on the page into an instant piano chord diagram, so you can keep your hands on the keys and your eyes on the music. ★ WHAT YOU CAN DO • See piano chords instantly: hover a chord to see it on a piano keyboard, with every note labelled • Hear the chord: click to pin the chord diagram and play it with a piano-like sound • Learn inversions: step through root position, 1st, 2nd and 3rd inversions to find smooth voicings • Transpose chords: move every chord on the page up or down one semitone at a time, so you can play the song in any key • Read slash chords: the bass note of chords like C/E and G/B is shown in its own colour • Get the right note names: notes are spelled correctly for each chord, so C7 shows Bb, not A# ★ WORKS WITH THE CHORDS MUSICIANS REALLY WRITE Major and minor chords, 7th chords, maj7, m7, diminished, half-diminished (m7b5), augmented, sus2 and sus4, 6 and m6, 6/9, 9th, 11th and 13th chords, add9, altered chords (b5, #5, b9, #9, #11, b13), power chords and slash chords. ★ WORKS ON THE PAGES YOU ALREADY USE Song chord sheets, lyrics with chords, worship and church song sheets, guitar chord sites and tabs, and ChordPro text like [C]Let it [G]be. It also finds chords that load after the page opens. Normal text is left alone: a line only counts as chords when every word on it is a chord. ★ WHO IT'S FOR • Pianists and keyboard players reading guitar chord sheets • Beginners learning piano chords and chord shapes • Worship team keyboardists who need to change the key quickly • Singers who want to transpose a song to suit their voice • Piano teachers and students building chord vocabulary ★ PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account and no sign-up • No tracking and no data collected • Works offline; the sound is made in your browser • Turn it off for any website, or everywhere, from the toolbar ★ HOW TO USE IT Open any chord sheet or song page. Hover a chord name to see it on the piano keyboard. Click the chord to pin it and hear it, then use ‹ › to change the inversion. Click the Hover Chords icon to transpose the song, switch the sound off, or turn it off on a site. ★ QUESTIONS Is it free? Yes, completely free, with no ads. Does it work with guitar chord sites? Yes. It reads the chord names and shows them as piano chords. Can I transpose a whole song? Yes. Use the + and − buttons in the toolbar popup; every chord on the page changes key at once.
