Note: 1 — The ( ) is only meant to make it easier to see the number in the chord
when the number has 2 digits.
2 — The chords Am, Am7, C and C7 are played both as open chords and as barre
depending on the part (i.e: verse, chorus) of the song. So, the * before these
chord names is just a way to tell them apart from the other form of the same
chords that is played in other parts of the song.
