Write chords over lyrics, transpose to any key, and print a clean chord sheet. No sign-up to build. A free account saves up to 3 charts.
Need to draw finger-position chord diagrams (the dots-on-a-fretboard kind) instead? Use the Chord Diagram Maker.
{start_of_chorus}, {comment: ...}, {strum: ...} all work. Edits here and taps in the sheet stay in sync.
You're not signed in, so this shape lasts for this session only. A free account keeps it in My Chords for every chart.
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.
Paste your lyrics, tap a word, and put the chord right above it with the on-screen chord keyboard. No fiddly spacing or fixed-width fonts.
Paste a chord sheet from Ultimate Guitar or any tab site (chord letters above the words) and it converts automatically: chords land over the right words, and [Verse]/[Chorus] headers become sections.
Move the whole song up or down by half steps. Chords re-spell to the new key's sharps or flats automatically.
A diatonic quick row for your key puts the chords you'll actually use one tap away, plus every quality from maj7 to 13.
Build down/up strum patterns in a tap-to-toggle grid, with counts underneath, and drop them anywhere in the song.
One switch adds a diagram row of every chord in the song, using your own saved fingerings from the Chord Diagram Maker when names match.
Uses ChordPro brackets and directives underneath, so you can paste existing ChordPro songs straight in, and your old charts still work.
Download a clean, page-ready chord sheet with your current key applied, great for printing or sending to bandmates.
Save charts to your account (3 free, unlimited with Pro) and open them on any device.
Paste or type the words of the song into the lyrics box. Use blank lines between sections.
Tap the word where the chord lands, then build the chord on the keyboard (root, sharp/flat, quality) or hit one of the key's quick chords. You can also type chords in brackets, like [G]twinkle [D]little star.
Enter the key so the quick chords match, add a capo if you use one, and use the transpose buttons to move the chart to a singer's range.
Insert strumming pattern rows where the feel changes, and flip on the chords-used switch to show every chord's diagram at the top of the sheet.
Save it to your library to reuse on any device, or export a PDF or PNG to print or send to your bandmates.
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.
