###Chord notation
I use the Nashville number system see: http://www.kyleoneal.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Intro-to-the-Nashville-Number-System.pdf
In order to be able to transpose songs its useful to be able to know the chord in relation to the key. So you can learn numbers like 1 or 4 fr chords G and C respectively in the key of G major, see "Above all powers song"
###Symbols

- | 1 beat rest (ignore - inside a word) |
~ | 1/2 beat rest |
() | Contains words not in counting eg feel would be in the 3rd beat: --(To)feel the warmth |
NOTE: the rest symbols are just to help song learners know when to come in as in most chord sheets | |
this is not shown. Eg in this part or Breathe: | |
1 | 4 |
