Chords over lyrics, the easy way

Guitar Scribble's chord sheet maker lets you build clean chord-over-lyrics sheets in your browser. Type the words, drop a chord in brackets where it lands, and the chord floats above the right syllable. Lines reflow to fit any screen, so your chart reads well on a phone, a tablet on a music stand, or a printed page.

🎵 Chords over lyrics

Place chords above the exact words. Responsive layout, no fiddly spacing or fixed-width fonts.

🔁 One-click transpose

A diatonic chord palette for your key puts the chords you'll actually use one tap away.

Uses ChordPro brackets and directives, so you can paste existing ChordPro songs straight in.

📄 Export to PDF & PNG

How to make a chord chart

1. Type your lyrics

Paste or type the words of the song into the editor. Use blank lines between sections.

2. Drop chords over the words

Put a chord in square brackets right before the word it lands on, like [G]twinkle [D]little star. Or tap a chord chip to insert it at the cursor.

3. Set the key, capo, and transpose

Enter the key so the chord palette matches, add a capo if you use one, and use the transpose buttons to move the chart to a singer's range.

4. Save or export

Save it to your library to reuse on any device, or export a PDF or PNG to print or send to your bandmates.

Who it's for

Worship teams, cover bands, wedding bands, solo guitarists, ukulele players, and music teachers who want quick, readable chord-over-lyrics sheets they can transpose and print without wrestling with a word processor.
