Topic: Editing a song to line up with the chords

Firstly: I love this site.  I use it all the time. Glad it's there...
I've been making some corrections to "Prayer For The Dying", but I just can't get the chords to line up properly.
I do a lot of transcriptions myself, but I line them up so I can read them easily.  This format is a bit difficult,
especially if you don't know the song to begin with...

Re: Editing a song to line up with the chords

chordie.com/song.php/songartist/Seal/Index.hmtl   (I'm pretty new to this internet thing, so I hope this is what you're asking for...)

I think the problem I'm having is overall, though.  I've noticed with almost all songs I see, that the chords seem to appear
in random positions, and it's unclear how many beats each one should get.  They fit LOOSELY with the text, but.....   
I'm gonna try something and see if I can get them to line up properly.

Re: Editing a song to line up with the chords

That is a link to all the songs by Seal. I took a look at some of them, and they did look fairly OK.

Could you find one specific song you are having problem with, and send me the link for that one. Just to figure out if you are having a local problem, or if you just are finding badly formatted songs.
