Write lyrics and place chords quickly

A clearer way to write, arrange and perform
More time making music.
Less time formatting it.
WordsAndChords brings lyrics, chords, musical ideas and performance planning into one calm workspace—so a first line can become a chart the whole band can use.

One musical workspace
Everything around the song stays connected.
Create charts musicians can read
Render chords above the right lyric position, prevent collisions, choose one or two columns, fit the chart to the page, and print or save an A4-ready PDF.
Add rhythm and notation
Develop chord rhythm, simple stave notation and drum parts with adjustable timing grids, note lengths, accidentals, playback and linked instrument views.
Organise a growing song library
Save songs privately, categorise them your way, filter what you see, preserve normal running orders and export portable chord-and-lyric text.
Plan the performance
Build setlists from saved songs, add section dividers and performance keys, reorder songs, find omissions or repeats, reuse previous shows and print large stage-friendly running orders.
Collaborate with clear boundaries
Create groups and share selected musical material with colleagues. Account isolation and browser-side encryption are designed to keep each person’s private library separate.
Private by design
Your song content is encrypted before it is uploaded.
Words, chords and musical data are unlocked in the member’s browser. Users retain readable exports, while account approval and authenticator two-factor security help protect access. Encryption cannot protect an already compromised device or browser.
