Question:
Since this is my first post, I looked around and wasn't sure where to post so I'll put it here.
Got a new, well new for us, song my wife and I are leading at Church and it's a tad high in the key it is written in. Usually I have no problem raising or lowering the key of a song but this one has me stumped.
The song is: Those who trust in the Lord, by Waterdeep.
the Chords are Em7, B7, Am-B7. Em7 C,B7,Em7,G,C,B7.....
1. What's the key?
2. I've tried lowering it everyway I know how and it don't sound right.
HELLLLLLLLLPPPPP

My wife does the main singing and I play guitar and try shepherding the other musicians, kinda like herding cats, and I sing lead on some songs and backup on others. Neither of us could sing this one.

Answer:
Probably the B7 through you off because it is a dissonence chord, and it doesn't fit in the G scale naturally.
I agree E would be the way to go not too high for her not too low for you.
Answer:
This website does a great job transposing keys:

Answer:
Just for the record, this tune is in a minor key. That's probably what threw you off. The key you posted first is E harmonic minor. To those suggesting E, it really would be C# harmonic minor.
And yes, the transposition down a m3 down would probably work.

Under the k.i.s.s. principal if you were to have the sheet music infront of you it would show 1 sharp which would make it the Key of G or Em.
yes I would play the E harmonic minor scale over top of it for a solo and I would play the G major and the E blues box(pentatonic).
I do apologize if I led you wrong but In my book simple is best.
Answer:
k.i.s.s = keep it simple silly/stupid?

K.I.S.S. = Kats Is Splendid Singers
