A thousand years

Simplified chord chart for A thousand years (karaoke of Dr.shenanigans), in A# at 92 BPM: 6 chords instead of 12, and 61 changes instead of 72. Sevenths became triads (A#, Cm, D#, Dm, F, Gm), which cuts down the shapes you have to learn. Good for playing along all the way through without stalling on a change.

In this version the sevenths were reduced to triads, and 11 changes too short for the hand to follow were merged. A diminished chord appears as minor — that is a substitution, not an equivalence: it sounds close when you are playing along, but it is not the same chord. For the harmony as it is, use the full version.
