Public chord charts are sorted into nineteen genres. Each link below filters the catalogue.

The three difficulty levels, and how they are worked out

Difficulty is not declared by the author: it is computed automatically from the chords actually present in the chart. The rule is public and fits in three lines.

Advanced as soon as one advanced chord appears: diminished, augmented, m7b5, mMaj, or any alteration (b5, #5, b9, #9, #11, b13), along with elevenths and thirteenths.
Intermediate from two intermediate chords — maj7, maj9, m7, m9, 7, 9 — or as soon as the chart uses ten different chords.
Easy in every other case. Sus, 7sus and add chords count as basic: they are common for beginners and pose no left-hand difficulty.

A three-open-chord song is therefore always rated easy, however long it runs; a song cycling through ten different positions is rated intermediate even if each one is simple. How much there is to memorise counts as much as how hard each shape is.

Filtering and sorting

Search covers title, artist, chart author and key. Filters combine: genre, difficulty, decade. Sorting offers most recent, best rated or most viewed, plus a random pick for stumbling on something you were not looking for.

What a chord chart contains

A chart reads like a simplified score: named sections — intro, verse, chorus, bridge — split into bars, each bar carrying its chords and their length in beats. Add to that the key, the tempo, a capo if any, and the diagrams for the instrument you picked.

A single song may have several versions: a simplified chart to get started, another closer to the recording. When that happens, a dedicated page brings them together.
