Wait a minute. I just took a look at some guitar chords and I may be dead wrong. If I am, could some one explain to me and teach me how to read music?

I play all of Gord's songs in a different key that what they are written in, because my voice range is naturally higher than Gord's. For instance, I play Wreck in D, with a capo on the second fret, which actually puts it in the key of E.
If I don't transpose a song into a different key, I at least move the capo up so that it ends up being played in a different key.
