A chord sheet is lyrics with chord names printed above the syllable where each chord changes — no staff, nothing to sight-read. You write it in ChordPro, the plain-text convention musicians have shared charts in for decades: the chord goes in square brackets, right before the syllable it lands on.
What you type
What prints
[C] goes immediately before the syllable you change on — no space between. Mid-word is fine and often right: a[G]mazing puts the G over the second syllable, which is where a guitarist actually moves.
Write Chorus, Verse 2 or Bridge on its own line and it prints as a section heading, so the band can find the second verse without counting lines.
An intro, a turnaround or an instrumental has no words to sit above. Write just the chords, and use | to mark the bars: [C] [F] | [C] [G].
Write the song in whatever key you found it in, then transpose the finished chart to fit the singer. Every chord name and diagram moves together, so there is nothing to correct by hand — and Nashville numbers turn it into a chart that works in any key at all.
Built for worship teams, teachers, and anyone who hands out charts before rehearsal.
Write [G]like this and chords land right over the syllable. Drag any chord on the sheet to nudge it.
Move the whole song a semitone at a time, pick a capo position, or switch to Nashville numbers for the band.
Guitar and ukulele shapes for every chord in the song — placed at the top of the page or in the margin.
Pick a paper preset, scale the type, go one or two columns — then print or save a PDF with no stray page breaks.
Every sheet autosaves as you write. Publish when it's ready — it's searchable, printable, and shareable with a link.
Tap a line to fix a chord mid-rehearsal. Undo and redo everything, on any screen size.
Start from a chart another player already published, and change the key to fit your voice.
A chord sheet is a one-page chart with the lyrics of a song and the chord names printed above the exact syllable where each chord changes. It is not sheet music — there is no staff, no rhythm notation and nothing to sight-read. That is the point: a singer or guitarist can follow it at a glance while playing.
Type or paste your lyrics, then put each chord in square brackets immediately before the syllable it lands on — [C]like this. The chord appears above that syllable on the finished chart. Write a bare line such as Chorus or Verse 2 to start a new section. Then pick a key, set a capo if you use one, and print.
ChordPro is the plain-text convention for writing chord charts, where chords sit inline in the lyrics between square brackets. It has been the standard format for sharing charts between musicians for decades because it is just text — readable in any editor, and easy to transpose automatically. This is the format the editor reads and writes.
Yes, one semitone at a time, and the whole chart moves together — chord names, chord diagrams and the printed key all update. You can also set a capo position, or switch the whole chart to Nashville numbers so the band can play it in any key without a rewrite.
Choose a paper size (Letter or A4), scale the type up or down, and switch between one and two columns until the song fits. The preview is the printed page, so what you see is what comes out — no stray page breaks and no chord stranded on its own at the bottom.
Yes, and you can write and print a chart without an account. You are only asked to sign in if you want to save a chart to your library so it follows you between devices, or publish it for other people to use.
Yes. Every distinct chord in the song gets a diagram — guitar, ukulele or piano — placed at the top of the chart or in the margin. They are generated from the chords you wrote, so they stay correct when you transpose.
