How to get keyboard chords of popular songs

Does anyone know of a web site that offers keyboard chords from most popular songs? I've searched the web and found web sites with guitar chords (using guitar tabs that I can't read) but not for keyboard players. I just want to have it in a basic format like G D C G. I own a several fake books but there are songs out there that I'd like to know the chord movements of and create my own melody or my own interpretation of a song.

    A lot of the TAB sites indicate on each song link whether it shows tab or chords. Obviously you can make use of the 'chords' links.

    And then all you need is a list of all the chord positions on the keyboard - like in my case, although I'm learning to just make them up from scratch.

    I'm a perfectionist, and perfect is a skinned knee.

    Hey p5670
    if you have HS or SONAR you can look for midis....
    there are thousands of tunes as midis , in all styles free all over the net.....
    I do that all the time......grab a midi ...... play them in SONAR ....
    and study/play along......on guitar...

    one of the coolest tools ..out there is Band In A Box ....
    I tried the demo and loved it for study/ songwriting purposes
    that program is set up to be real user friendly for self teaching...
    it shows the chords ...and even what notes to play on the keyboard....
    also there are tens of thousands free song files on sites ....for it....

    Band In A Box 2007.5 has a "chord finder" which will try to analyze a wave file and present the chords in the song to you. It's not 100% accurate, but NO AUDIO to MIDI converter is.
