I've made a few corrections here.  They appear in parenthesis (I realize 
that this is generally the notation for a bass tone within a chord, but I 
don't know of the way you're supposed to show corrections, and I don't 
want to simply delete Scott's work) next to Scott's original chords.  
Thank you for taking the time to do this Scott!
