GOOD STUFF!  I can always count on the fact that if you post something, it's going to be worth listening to!  Thanks Pix! 

Well, to double check and make sure that you post up F/C instead of F is a start ... as for the F/C on the 8th fret... if there's not too many mistakes during formatting, you could make a note at the bottom of the song indicating that it is played on the 1st fret not the 8th as the chart shows. 

Otherwise, it seems you'd have to make up your own chord chart drawing, upload somewhere on the internet, and then link to it.  If there's a bunch of chords that you do that with regularly, I would say that it would be safe to put a link to such a photograph in your signature and note something in your signature about referring to the link for the chords played in your songs. 

Now... on the other hand, I just looked at the large chord chart (because I too play the F/C on the first fret) and there IS one in there if you go searching for it.  Once you find it, you can do the same thing with it that you would do with any other picture to post it somewhere else.  (right click, choose copy picture url, come back here and paste it between img tags -- see this post for more details on how to http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=14150)

So you could reasonably do that at the bottom of your song posts... something like:
Please  note, chords used in this song are actually:

F/C:

yada yada yada ... I think if you put a TON of those in your signature however, it would be a bit much (I'm not sure that we have rules against pictures in siggys, but they might be blocked since no one has any anyhow).  OR... you could make a post JUST of the chords you use in your songs, and then refer to it at the bottom of each song, or in your signature.

I hope I've given you a couple suggestions that make sense and will help you figure out what will work easiest for you.  I know you post up TONS of songs on here, so easiest would be best I'm sure rather than having to work even harder coding extra stuff into each and every one.  Good luck!

Hey Johnnyreptile and Robert Fleet ... you'll get  a lot more help by starting your own thread for help with a particular song.  Generally, folks here will peruse the forums and if something in the title of the post strikes them, then they will read.  Since the title of this thread is "chords for Tracy Chapman's Baby can I Hold you Tonight", it's not likely anyone with chords for "Sweet Mama" or "Whatsername" will jump in here going, "AHHHH I HAVE THOSE!" because they didn't come in here and read this post and didn't know your request was hidden behind someone else's.  You can post a new thread by going back to the Song Requests forum, and then in the upper right click on "post new topic".

Posting requests in other people's topics not only doesn't get much response, but it's also called "hijacking" and is considered poor manners in forums. 

In the meantime, please be sure to go to the ARTIST tab at the top and try searching first for chords to the song before posting a request.  Lots of members are willing to help if you can't find it and put forth a valid request that wasn't easily found first.  THANK YOU!  AND... WELCOME TO the CHORDIE forums  !!

Bob, so very sorry to hear about the loss of your father.  I can only imagine... don't want to though.  My condolences to you and yours.

While clearly not the best of weekends for camping... MUCH better having that "new camper" than a TENT I'm sure!  Glad to hear the family had a good time, and got out a little bit. 

Nice job!  I'd suggest next time posting something like this in the "Bands and Artists" section however (and it might get moved by the mod of this section).  No worries though, not a major biggie issue

Again... NICE JOB!  You've got a great voice too! 

Very interesting indeed.  Thank you for sharing that Cam!

I was right, STINKIN' AWESOME!    Thanks Pix!!

Hmm... Knowing how to read sheet music IS a very good skill.  It can really help you out with a LOT of things musically.  I must say, most sheet music that I read that's written "for guitar" also includes chords (often with little chord charts).  Soooooo ... I'd say learning to read chord charts is pretty important (it's also really pretty easy to grasp).  I CAN read music, but I use chords for playing my guitar.  I haven't learned all the notes up and down the fretboard yet (and frankly haven't had a huge desire to yet.  I do want to, but it's not so important to me at the moment).  I do know where they are on a piano, and can get a good idea of how a song goes by  looking at sheet music (the melody, singing, time, etc). 

Not sure if my thoughts helped at all.  I'm not sure what I'd do in your shoes either.  BUT.., WELCOME TO CHORDIE!!

I too did a search all over google and couldn't find anything either.  Perhaps if you could put a link up with the music playing for one of the "magic ears" around here to help ya out!
