^{* Play the Bb7 as a barre chord on the 6th fret to make it sound right,
i.e. 686766. - Trond.}

Comments from: Paul McMullan : The position of the chords is about right I think. In many cases they should be played on the start of the word that follows the chord. For

example, ^Fscarlet ... means the F is played on the s. My positioning of the chords isn't exactly the same as the sheet music - it doesn't always correspond to where the guitar chord has been placed. But it does agree
