Long story short, I'm packing all my stuff up and listening to music while doing so. All my instruments are in the trunk of my car (another thread about that). I'm listening to music while packing. I usually use my keyboard to figure out what key a song is and the melodies. I'm a huge Emmylou fan and this came on one of her CD's. What key is it in? My ear says G, but I'm sure its wrong. I won't be able to get my keyboard out for a couple days. Anybody help me? Here is the link... Thanks!

Sounds like B, but also sounds like she's got on a capo, possibly playing an open G (capo would be at 4th Fret). My best guess.

It is in B. Capo at 4 - play a G-C-D prog.

Awesome. Thanks guys. I knew it was 3 chords, just didn't know key the key since I didn't have a reference. Once I get my stuff unpacked I'll get to learning the song.

You might not want to sing it in the same key as Emmy Lou.

But I might want to sing it an octave lower.
