James Taylor - Oh, Susannah

Simplified chord chart for James Taylor - Oh, Susannah (karaoke of Runy Karaoke & Lyrics), in C at 112 BPM: 4 chords instead of 10, and 13 changes instead of 26. Sevenths became triads (Am, C, D, Em), 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 13 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.
