Summer Breeze - KARAOKE VERSION - as popularized by Seals & Crofts

Simplified chord chart for Summer Breeze - KARAOKE VERSION - as popularized by Seals & Crofts (karaoke of Pinoy Videoke Tambayan), in Em at 89 BPM: 8 chords instead of 13, and 41 changes instead of 55. Sevenths became triads (A, Am, Bm, C#, D, E, 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, and 14 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.
