I CAN'T FIND THE WORDS TO SAY GOODBYE - David Gates

Simplified chord chart for I CAN'T FIND THE WORDS TO SAY GOODBYE - David Gates (karaoke of Atomic Karaoke...), in A at 81 BPM: 11 chords instead of 16, and 56 changes instead of 63. Sevenths became triads (A, B, Bm, C#m, D, E, F#, F#m and others), 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 7 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.
