Saving All My Love For You - KARAOKE VERSION - as popularized by Whitney Houston

Simplified chord chart for Saving All My Love For You - KARAOKE VERSION - as popularized by Whitney Houston (karaoke of Pinoy Videoke Tambayan), in F#m at 68 BPM: 6 chords instead of 16, and 20 changes instead of 48. Sevenths became triads (A, Bm, C#, C#m, E, F#m), 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 28 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.
