CRYING - - in the style of Roy Orbison

Simplified chord chart for CRYING - - in the style of Roy Orbison (karaoke of Pinoy Videoke Tambayan), in D at 96 BPM: 6 chords instead of 10, and 30 changes instead of 33. Sevenths became triads (A, Bm, D, G, G#, 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 3 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.
