Sponge Cola

Simplified chord chart for Sponge Cola (karaoke of Vinyl KTV), in G at 96 BPM: 7 chords instead of 10, and 34 changes instead of 34. Sevenths became triads (Am, Bm, C, D, D#, Em, 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, 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.
