Dumb! I just figured out I was entering the input string in quotes.
So, I suppose the answer to my question is yes, type CAN be changed along a >>= chain. I was having trouble doing it in a different problem, created this small example to illustrate the problem, and then screwed it up putting quotes around my input string.
Thanks!

This code works perfectly for me. What problem are you seeing specifically?
