This now seems well OT for this list :-(

If the OP wishes, can install perl, and promises /absolutely/ to neither 
criticize the remarkably untidy code ( :-)  ) nor ask for support, I 
could send my fake book script. It handles lyrics and chords, will 
transpose as needed and produces a usable-if-not-the-best text or odf 
file as output from a could-probably-be-simpler input.

Otherwise, I'd suggest using abc-formatted input and abc2abc (it's a 
freebie). Which will happily convert, say,

X: 1
M:4/4
T:test piece
C:Mike
%
K:A
%
"A" "B" "Bb" "C"

to (up a tone)

X: 1
M:4/4
T:test piece
C:Mike
%
K:B
%
"B" "C#" "C" "D"

Somewhat laborious, but at least you'd get the chords done.
