Country · Contralto · F3–F5

Country songs a contralto can sing in the original key.

14 of the 23 Country songs in the catalogue fit a contralto as written — every note between F3 and F5.

The widest of them is Always Remember Us This Way by Lady Gaga, 21 semitones from G3 to E5; the narrowest is Hurt by Johnny Cash, at 14 semitones.

Of the 23, 9 go below F3 and 1 climbs above F5; 1 does both.

Every Country song that fits F3–F5

The best-known songs come first, and the easier ones first inside that. Rows whose chart position nobody matched sit at the end.

Country songs whose whole melody sits inside F3–F5 in the original key.

What this list is

The catalogue holds 430 songs with a sourced lowest and highest note, and 23 of those are Country. A song is on this page only if both of its notes already sit inside F3–F5 — nothing has been moved to another key.

A voice type is a convention for classifying a trained voice by timbre and where it sits, not a test result on its own.

No song here is marked safe or risky. Those labels are read off notes held for two seconds, and this page has not heard you sing.
