(* Play the Bb7 as a barre chord on the 6th fret to make it sound right,
i.e. 686766. - Trond.)
Comments from: Paul McMullan <

The position of the chords is about right I think. In many cases they
should be played on the start of the word that follows the chord. For
example, (F)scarlet ... means the F is played on the s. My positioning of
the chords isn t exactly the same as the sheet music - it doesn t always
correspond to where the guitar chord has been placed. But it does agree
with the chord (or note) in the piano notation.
