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}
F#m chord {2 4 4 2 2 2}
E chord {0 2 2 1 0 0}
G chord {3 2 0 0 0 3}
A chord {x 0 2 2 2 0}
C chord {x 3 2 0 1 0}
Am chord {x 0 2 2 1 0}
Bm chord {x 2 4 4 3 2}
C#m chord {x 4 6 6 5 4}

Voice rise, in one wave, and crash on your doorstep, making the circle here
D       Bm         D             E         A        D   A   D
Perfect, complete, these are the fables on my street

D            C     E            F#m       D        C         Bm
Hope and then fear, hammer comes down so hard on the evening, packing

Heaven shown hell, and down from its pockets, and ringing your bell it
D                 C      E            F#m      D                C
Fell through your hands; hang at your feet, the doors that won't open
Bm          E          D          Bm         D             E
Mocking the journey of our friend, complete, these are the fables on
