Simplified chord chart for Heart Shaped Box - Nirvana (Acoustic Karaoke) (karaoke of ComboJam), in G#m at 99 BPM: 6 chords instead of 11, and 36 changes instead of 40.

In this version the sevenths were reduced to triads, and 4 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.
