I have this song that I have guitar chords for but I'd like to learn it on my violin. Is there anyway to transpose this into something I could play, or would it be easier if I just got the melody for it to play? And if I got the piano music for the melody, would I need to change that at all to play on my violin, or can I play it straight from any sheet music? I know, lots of questions, but they've been really bothering me lately.

The chords can be played as arpeggios. Do you know what arpeggios are? Also double stops.
Melody might be easier but you could also just play the base notes in the key. Depends on your level and what you want to play.
If you get the piano music you could read off of the treble clef part or transpose the bass clef but up one or two octaves as well.

I don't think I'm quite ready for arpeggios. I'll have to see if I can find the sheet music for it. I've been looking for it for a while, but all I can find is the chords. Do you know if there's a program or something where you can record someone singing (ie, play the video for it, or I could just record audio of myself) and it creates the melody line?

I have been going here for some stuff. http://www.musicnotes.com/
they have lots of music, most of it is very inexpensive. Look for violin, vocals, or C instrument, or lead sheet. The violin can play all of those. The site gives you a midi player that plays the sheet music on your computer and highlights each note as it is played. Some songs come with accompaniment, piano is common. The midi player plays one or both instruments, you can also slow the tempo down or speed it up. The site allows you to print one time for copyrighted material, unlimited for stuff in the public domain.

Thanks Dave! I'll have to take a look! Hopefully I can find what I'm looking for!

Okay, I've been trying like crazy to get this song written down. I cannot find the sheet music anywhere. All I have are the chords that the singers posted in a youtube video. So, I found this video where someone backed up the song with piano music (and of course they played by ear, so no music to borrow), but anyway, I was wondering if anyone had such an awesome ear that they could pick out the piano and get it put into some sheet music. I'll post the video (well try to anyway).
