Paste lyrics and chords, get a clean printable chart in seconds
Chord Thingy takes the messiest artifact in amateur music, the chord chart, and makes it legible again. Paste lyrics with chord names scattered above them however sloppy they arrive, and it produces a clean formatted chart with consistent spacing, proper line wrapping, and section labels that stay put. Built by someone clearly scarred by worship team rehearsals, it handles the church-music realities: instant transposition to any key, capo positioning so the guitarist can keep easy shapes, Nashville number notation for players who think in numbers, and print layouts that fit a binder page without microscopic fonts. Chord diagrams appear inline when you need to remember how that Bm7 goes. BPM lookups pull from GetSongBPM to help drummers and keys lock a tempo together. Any band leader who currently annotates Google Docs printouts with pen will feel the upgrade immediately. Free to use in the browser, which fits how worship volunteers and garage bands actually budget for tools.
