Interesting (and a very quick reply), I shall look at it. So where does a corrected version live?

Topic: How does Chordie work? (5 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Just out of interest, how does Chordie actually work? It stresses that the songs are 'NOT' held on Chordie's servers, but that Chordie works as a search engine. I find that amazing and surprising seeing as the original host versions (in the cases I have looked at) have the songs with the chords and lyrics typed together without the coding needed to display the chords separately. In Chordie the key can be changed, but not on the original host. If Chordie uses algorithms to generate the separation of lyrics and chords automatically, then they must be really awesome codes to get it right every time, I mean, how could it automatically tell the difference between the letter A and the chord A? Also, I put some corrections to 'Parklife' by Blur, and now they appear on Chordie to everyone, but they have not changed the original shown on Xguitar.com. So if they don't feed back to the source, then surely the corrected version at least must live on Chordie?
I would like to say that Chordie is great however it works, and is my No.1 site to go to for chords. Although it's rarely super-accurate, it usually shows me the way to go.
Thanks Chordie.
