Chord Arrangements

Standard Major

by Irish Bouzouki 9/4/2025
Chord arrangement: G | C | G | G | G | C | D | D | G | C | G | Em | G | D | G | G // C | C | G | G | C | G | D | D | C | C | G | Em | G | D | G | G

I know the tune in the key of D. The accidentals are also correct, but the melody sounds in G. Could you please check that? I have now rewritten the chords to G major, as they were set in D and no longer fit.

Adam: I've updated this version now to a cleaner version that should be easier to add chords for. Let me know if this works for you. Thanks
Irish Bouzouki: I'm referring to the first bar in the B-Part where I put a D-chord.
Adam: Thanks for this, it sounds great. In your comment, are you referring to the [2: variant]? Or the bar after this?
