Understanding chord charts

Many songs on NepaliHymns include guitar chord charts. The chords appear above the lyrics, directly over the syllable where you play them. This format — called inline chord notation — lets you read the lyrics and know exactly when to change chords without needing a separate chord sheet.

Reading the chords

Chord names appear directly above the syllable where your strumming hand should change. If you are new to reading chord charts, start by playing the song through once without chords to learn the melody, then add the chords one section at a time.

1. 1Chord names (like G, Am, C, F) sit above the words.
2. 2Play the chord as you sing the syllable directly below it.
3. 3A slash chord like G/B means play G with B in the bass.
4. 4If a chord appears mid-word, change on that syllable.

Transposing to a different key

If the default key is too high or too low for your worship team, you can transpose up or down using the key controls on the song page. NepaliHymns will shift all chords automatically while keeping the lyrics in place.

No chords for a song?

Not every song has chords yet — the library is growing. If you know the chords for a song that is missing them, email us at hello@nepalihymns.com with the song name and chords and we will add them to the library.
