Simplified chord chart for Perhaps Love - KARAOKE VERSION - as popularized by John Denver (karaoke of Pinoy Videoke Tambayan), in A at 81 BPM: 5 chords instead of 10, and 25 changes instead of 81.

In this version the sevenths were reduced to triads, and 56 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.
