This method of writing out chord charts is only helpful if you know the song really well. You can only describe so much by writing chords above lyrics. My best advice to make sure you know the song really well, and by that I mean having listened to it repeatedly. After a certain point, you begin to hear where the chords go and it will be clear to you.

Unfortunately there isn't much of a methodology to this way of chart writing, as it's such a short hand way of doing things. Listen to the song as much as you can, and also put some time into being able to read music and tab as well.

Best of luck! :eek:
