Simplified chord chart for HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART - - in the style of Bee Gees (karaoke of Pinoy Videoke Tambayan), in E at 70 BPM: 7 chords instead of 10, and 33 changes instead of 41.

In this version the sevenths were reduced to triads, and 8 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.
