Tab Mapper
Tab or chord file URL:

The tab mapper is a handy little tool that will render a guitar tab file with graphic chord diagrams displayed alongside. This comes in handy for people who just don't have every single chord shape memorized. Just plug in the web site address of a valid .tab or .crd file and hit "Go". In general, the tab mapper does a better job with printer friendly URLs. If there is more than one way to play a chord, the tab mapper will choose the most common shape. To see other fingerings, click on the chord diagram and you will be taken to the chord calculator.

D chord {x x 0 2 3 2}
G chord {3 2 0 0 0 3}
C9 chord {x 3 2 3 3 0}
A chord {x 0 2 2 2 0}
Em chord {0 2 2 0 0 0}
B chord {x 2 4 4 4 2}
C chord {x 3 2 0 1 0}

Tell me why you lied, and what it is you do to keep your eyes all shiny 


A tawny gypsy girl, sleeping blanketed by stars 
Beneath the tilt-a-whirl, where we were coyly caught alone 
All fumbling with your blouse 


C9 Cmaj7 C9 Cmaj7 B Em B Em

Tell me why you lied, and what it is you do to keep your eyes all shiny 


D                          C
  And in the rollercoaster din 

D                      C                Em             
  By the parachutes in saddle shoes you break your shin 

D                           C       B    Em B  Em
  But I have never seen two eyes so shiny



C9 Cmaj7 C9 Cmaj7 B Em B Em   x2

And the sullen beery swine 
Try to tangle you in sullen beery balls of twine
Have they ever seen two eyes so shiny


The boys in denim vests, smoking cigarettes between 
Their bootblack fingertips, sweetly tipsy by the half-light 
The light and the half-light 


C9 Cmaj7 C9 Cmaj7 B Em B Em

Tell me why you lied and what it is you do to keep your eyes so shiny

C9 Cmaj7 C9 Cmaj7 B Em B Em
Oh, shiny... (repeat and fade)


End on: Em D G Am B
