Sprout Chords is the chord chart app built for real musicians — worship leaders, music teachers, students, and anyone learning guitar.

No more hunting through messy PDFs or paper charts. IMPORT FROM PDF Already have chord charts? Import them directly from PDF. Sprout Chords intelligently extracts sections and chords, recognizing verse, chorus, pre-chorus, bridge, tag, and more — even when labeled inconsistently. 7 GUITAR TUNINGS Switch between Standard, DADGAD, Open E, Open D, Open G, Eb, and C Standard with one tap. Every chord diagram instantly redraws with the correct fingering for your tuning. DADGAD in particular unlocks beautiful 0–2 finger voicings that make songs accessible to complete beginners. SIMPLIFY FOR ANY SKILL LEVEL Four simplify levels let you adapt any song for any player: Full — exactly as written Clean — strips ornaments (Cadd9 → C, Gsus2 → G) Basic — triads only, no 7ths or extensions Beginner — easiest possible fingering for the selected tuning CAPO SUPPORT Set a capo and every diagram automatically shows the correct open-position shape to play, with the original written chord name shown for reference.
