a lower key, but I haven't bothered to check out which.  - Trond.

 * Play the   Bb7   as a barre chord on the 6th fret to make it sound right, 
i.e. 686766.   - Trond.  
 
Comments from: Paul McMullan : 
 
The position of the chords is about right I think. In many cases they 
should be played on the start of the word that follows the chord. For 
example,  F scarlet ... means the   F   is played on the s. My positioning of 
the chords isn't exactly the same as the sheet music - it doesn't always 
correspond to where the guitar chord has been placed. But it does agree 
with the chord  or note  in the piano notation.
