And of course maybe you don't actually want to do any 'figuring', in which case here's a little 'basic' chart that should get you most of the transpositions you are after:
A | D | E(7) | F#m | Bm | C#m |
C | F | G(7) | Am | Dm | Em |
D | G | A(7) | Bm | Em | F#m |
E | A | B(7) | C#m | F#m | G#m |
F | Bb | C(7) | Dm | Gm | Am |
G | C | D(7) | Em | Am | Bm |
Of course a capo is a simpler solution, here's a capo table to tell you where to put it to play in any key with any chord shape you prefer:
Key played | Base chord shape to use |
A | C | D | E | F | G |
A | 0 | 9 | 7 | 5 | 4 | 2 |
Bb | 1 | 10 | 8 | 6 | 5 | 3 |
B | 2 | 11 | 9 | 7 | 6 | 4 |
C | 3 | 0 | 10 | 8 | 7 | 5 |
C# | 4 | 1 | 11 | 9 | 8 | 6 |
D | 5 | 2 | 0 | 10 | 9 | 7 |
D# | 6 | 3 | 1 | 11 | 10 | 8 |
E | 7 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 11 | 9 |
F | 8 | 5 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 10 |
F# | 9 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 11 |
G | 10 | 7 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 0 |
G# | 11 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 3 | 1 |
