Chords auto-estimated from the song’s audio (bass = roots, guitar/synth = quality) and snapped to the detected key — a best-effort transcription, not a hand-verified score. To check accuracy, play the MIDI against the original recording (the verify player, when present, does this for you). Chord positions over the words are approximate to the repeating loop.
