This is actually one step lower. The chords are B-G-A. Other than that, solid.

I personally prefer singing this in Em, so quite a lot lower. The transpose function works well to let you play it in any key you like. :)

@artificialxlife yes this is one full step lower. i find it easier to sing with my vocal range. also, fear_ndloathing is correct. the ending chord of the chorus should be a E major.
