SWIM' - BTS

Simplified chord chart for SWIM' - BTS (karaoke of Musisi Karaoke), in A at 185 BPM: 9 chords instead of 13, and 34 changes instead of 40. Sevenths became triads (A, Bm, C#, C#m, D, E, F#, F#m and others), 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.
