Simplified chord chart for What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong) (karaoke of KARAOKE MUSIC LOUNGE), in F at 112 BPM: 6 chords instead of 18, and 18 changes instead of 60.

In this version the sevenths were reduced to triads, and 42 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.
