Transpose Tone

[mrdanny]

Hello, I have an urgent question, I've entered to a group of choir in my school and I don't understand very much of guitars and theory, well, I have a quick question,

We have sheets with some lyrics and chords above, but in some sheets we have in the top of the sheet "TONE in D" for example, so my question is, how do I transpose?

For example:



Tone D:

A G
blablablablabla

A Bm
blablabalblabla


I don't understand how to change it to tone D or how to play it, please help me...

"Tone D" doesn't mean anything. Is it possible these sheets were done in another country and translated?
Maybe its supposed to be the 'key of D'? Maybe its supposed to be 'tune to open D'.

D minor is the saddest of all keys.

D minor is the saddest of all keys.

But it's relative F major is full of fun...

 

[mrdanny]

I don't know, it just appears

Tone: D (re note)

and after that the lyrics with their chords...

Maybe you're suppsed to use a drop-D tuning.....is this a Metal song?

What key do you want to play it in?

 

[mrdanny]

I want to play it in the key of the song, my question is basically if I have to change the chords because it appears tune in D

 

[c7sus]

No, it's telling you the key of the song is "D".
