Capoed Guitar Chord Help, Please!!!!

[golddustwoman77]

I'll start out with an explaination, then you'll understand why I am asking this.

I'm a school teacher as many of you know. Well, eighth grade graduation is coming up, and the students are singing a song, "Count on Me" by Whitney Houston. It is from the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack. Anyway, there are three, eighth grade students who want to accompany the music teacher. She'll be on the piano and them on guitar. They play, but they aren't spectacular. The song has some unusual chords that they didn't know how to play, so the music teacher doesn't play guitar. She knows that I do, so she asked me to help them. I did, and I simplified the song as much as I could. But they were still having a hard time with some of the chords, because they play by ear and only know basic chord formations, not bar chords, etc.

Also, the music teacher said that she discussed this with another person who plays guitar as well, and they thought it would be easily played with a capo on the third fret. I can't find a capoed version of this song anywhere, and I don't think that I can convert the original chords to the new ones after the capo. I'm getting confused.

Anyway, I thought that someone on here could probably convert the original chords to the way to play it with the capo easily. I wanted a version that will easily be played, basic chords, etc., as much as possible. The students are just playing rhythm guitar, not lead. I'll post the chords that are used in the song below, according to the sheet music. Although, I have simplified the sheet music to some degree already. My students and I would really, really, really, really, really appreciate the help. Thank you in advance.

Here is the simplified version I have helped them with:


F Gm F B flat maj7

F C

F Bflat maj 7 F Dm

Gm A Dm Gm


This repeats the rest of the song.

Also, here is a version I found on the internet, but it is different from the sheet music that we have. http://www.911tabs.com/link/?2303529
