The Jackson 5 - ABC

Simplified chord chart for The Jackson 5 - ABC (karaoke of Karaoke Tracks Planet), in G# at 185 BPM: 6 chords instead of 9, and 23 changes instead of 52. Sevenths became triads (C, C#, D, E, F, 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 29 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.
