legend :

key : A
meter : 4/4 , swing
tempo : quarter = 174 , whoohoo!!

unless otherwise indicated , chords start at the beginning of a measure
| indicates a new measure with the same chord .
/ indicates individual beats of a measure when needed .
if a chord lasts for less than a full measure , the slash mark ( / ) will indicate the different beats
of the measure .
/D indicates a specific bass note , rather than a chord type; i . E . , /F# /G# A – would mean play F#
and G# as single bass notes ( in the right hand of a piano or bass strings of the guitar or on
the bass , for example ) and finally an a chord .
the typesetting used doesnt allow for perfect chord placement , still chords and measures bars
are almost exactly over the words where they occur , so you should be able to follow the words
and thus know where the chords change .
