Using the above major and minor progressions as a template non-diatonic chords can be found. For example b7 indicates a major chord based on the flatted seventh note of a major key (Bb in the key of C, F in the key of G, etc.). #1dim indicates a diminished chord on the raised first degree of a key (C#dim in the key of C, G#dim in the key of G, etc.) Complex chords may be played as major or minor. For example 1+7 (major seventh) or 37 can be played as a simple major chord. 2m7 (minor seventh) may be played as a simple minor chord. (Diminished chords must be played as diminished.) MEASURES AND LINES Songs are in 4/4 time unless indicated. All chord progressions are written by lines, each line corresponding to a line of the lyrics. Measures are divided by spacing. The following shows a typical four-measure line.

Sometimes there will be two chords in a measure. The following shows a line containing split-measures (two beats per chord).
1-4
1-5
1-4
5-1
If the above were played in 2/4 time each chord would receive one beat. There are no split measures in 3/4 time. Instead “repeat the chord” is shown as /. The following is a line from HAPPY BIRTHDAY. On the third measure of the line the 1 receives two beats.

Occasionally there will be be more than two chords per measure. The following is a line from JOY TO THE WORLD. (Measures two and four of the line could have been written 11b77.)

Here is a line from YELLOW SUBMARINE. The first chord of each measure receives three beats.
5//4
1//6m
2m//4
5//1
TIMING ODDITIES Here is a line from PRETTY WOMAN. It is unusual that there are only two measures in the line and the second measure contains only two beats (indicated in parenthesis).

PROGRESSIONS The choice of chords in the progressions is based on common arrangements, my interpretation, or sometimes for the sake of simplicity. You may certainly add your own interpretation to the progressions. (Just make sure all musicians are playing the same interpretation.) ENDINGS The following is the last line of the verse in I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS. All verses end with 2m-5 except the last verse which ends on 1.

2m-57

2m-5 (1)
Because of the many key changes SLEIGH RIDE is written key-specific for the purpose of simplicity. The following shows the two different four-measure endings of the bridge progression. (The bridge is first played using the first ending then repeated using the second ending.) Further instruction is given concerning the arrangement. 1.) 2.)

IN PENNY LANE THERE IS A BARBER SHOWING PHOTOGRAPHS OF EVERY HEAD HE'S HAD THE PLEASURE TO KNOW AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT COME AND GO STOP AND SAY HELLO ON THE CORNER IS A BANKER WITH A MOTOR CAR THE LITTLE CHILDREN LAUGH AT HIM BEHIND HIS BACK AND THE BANKER NEVER WEARS A MAC IN THE POURING RAIN VERY STRANGE CHORUS 1:
PENNY LANE IS IN MY EARS AND IN MY EYES THERE BENEATH THE BLUE SUBURBAN SKIES I SIT AND MEANWHILE BACK IN PENNY LANE THERE IS A FIREMAN WITH AN HOURGLASS AND IN HIS POCKET IS A PORTRAIT OF THE QUEEN HE LIKES TO KEEP HIS FIRE ENGINE CLEAN--IT'S A CLEAN MACHINE SOLO (verse progression with second ending) CHORUS 2:
PENNY LANE IS IN MY EARS AND IN MY EYES FOUR OF FISH AND FINGER PIES IN SUMMER--MEANWHILE BACK BEHIND THE SHELTER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROUNDABOUT A PRETTY NURSE IS SELLING POPPIES FROM A TRAY AND THOUGH SHE FEELS AS IF SHE'S IN A PLAY--SHE IS ANYWAY IN PENNY LANE THE BARBER SHAVES ANOTHER CUSTOMER WE SEE THE BANKER SITTING, WAITING FOR A TRIM AND THEN THE FIREMAN RUSHES IN FROM THE POURING RAIN VERY STRANGE CHORUS 1 / CHORUS 1 (original key) VERSE
