Led Zepplin - Rock and Roll (Karaoké)

Simplified chord chart for Led Zepplin - Rock and Roll (Karaoké) (karaoke of Stéphane B), in A at 86 BPM: 6 chords instead of 8, and 28 changes instead of 28. Sevenths became triads (A, Am, C#, D, E, 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, but no change was merged: in this song the chords already last long enough, so the number of changes is the same. 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.
