Most people relate If I Were A Boy with Beyonce, and well they should. Her video on YouTube has over 80 million views and growing, but Reba has transposed this song down a full step from D# to C# and it makes it a little easier to sing and play at the same time. The Beyonce version requires you to tune your guitar down a half step, while Reba’s has you put a capo on the second fret. The actual writer of the song BC Jean recorded it in the key of E, but has been playing with the guitar tuned down a half step to match the same key as Beyonce sings it in. Here is a link to the If I Were A Boy history on the Wikipedia.com website.
