Okay - Here is the first one:

Runnin on Empty – Jackson Browne

1e&a2e&a3e&a4e&a1e&a2e&a3e&a4e&a
V-------v-^-v-V-V-------v-^-v---

This needs to be viewed  in a constant width font to work, Courier New is one suggestion

Regarding a standardized Signature Rhythm Notation in Text Format, I suggest that the first beat of each measure be capitalized as emphasis, and any other emphasized beat, especially an emphasized offbeat, be capitalized.

Notation is, at best, a crude map of a rhythm. It is valuable to describe relationships and get you on the road to Heaven. But Heaven is to be experienced, it's not ON THE MAP! .....Barbara Bird

Okay, sorry, thanks. This is a big idea that is going to help a lot of people. How about if I research whether there is an existing (text based) standard rhythm notation out there, which would be convenient, if not generate one. Then maybe Chordie can host it, and people can add their own thoughts by sending in standardized (two bars max) signature rhythms that can be added to the database. Or an offsite website can host and you can pull in. Maybe I will host an offsite website, razor focused on standard signature rhythms for these songs, lets talk about it, Best Regards, and cheers,  -John

I think there should be a place in each song in Chordie for a Signature Rhythm (strum) Pattern (Standardized Notation) associated with each song.  That is the missing piece that adds life to each song. Does anyone else agree?
