My son is learning guitar, and I’d like to write down the lyrics to a few songs with chord diagrams above the words. I could just use the tab key to position the diagrams or use a true type font and the space key, but is there an easier way, or does someone have a ready made template?

The fonts that I found were fairly limited. Thanks though.

I ended up cutting from a chord notation chart in Wikipedia and editing to get the chords that weren’t shown.
