Le Ann Rimes - I Need You

Simplified chord chart for Le Ann Rimes - I Need You (karaoke of KaraokeyTV), in G at 144 BPM: 9 chords instead of 15, and 50 changes instead of 100.

In this version the sevenths were reduced to triads, and 50 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.
