Note that the chords that I gave you with the capo on the 1st fret will still be the same pitch as the chords you were playing with the capo on the 3rd fret. In other words, a G chord with capo 3 is actually a Bb... and an A chord capo 1 is also Bb.

So what I gave you won't affect how easy it is to sing at all. The melody notes will still be identical.

I just wanted to give you an alternative that doesn't use barre chords.

However, you CAN move the capo up/down a fret or two using those same chords to see if it gets easier to sing. You just won't be in the original key of Bb anymore. That really only matters, though, if you're playing with other musicians. If it's just you, do it in whatever key works the best!
