Two Steps Behind - KARAOKE VERSION - as popularized by Def Leppard

Simplified chord chart for Two Steps Behind - KARAOKE VERSION - as popularized by Def Leppard (karaoke of Pinoy Videoke Tambayan), in D at 144 BPM: 7 chords instead of 11, and 24 changes instead of 132. Sevenths became triads (A, C#, D, E, Em, F#m, 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 108 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.
