Something Stupid

Simplified chord chart for Something Stupid (karaoke of KARAOKE MUSIC LOUNGE), in G at 108 BPM: 5 chords instead of 13, and 26 changes instead of 32. Sevenths became triads (A, C, D, D#, G), 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 6 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.
