 # 
 #> Below i've written the version from David Bowie's "Lets dance". On

 #This song is already in the OLGA database, but I think there are some 
 #mistakes. Accordingly to what I can hear the chords were shown to be 
 #played with a capo at the seventh fret. I have corrected what seemed 
 #wrong to me and the following chords are played without capo.
