I improved the existing version(2) by changing the incorrect chords with the right ones from 'timohoujeklep's
comment (on version 2). Thanks a lot for those! I also improved the chords lining, now they appear above 
the lines of text they are to be played. Hope you will enjoy, please let me know about mistakes.
