Chord or ChordPro is the name of a simple text format for the notation of lyrics with chords. Although primarily intended for guitarists, it can be used for all kinds of musical purposes.
The Chord format is invented by the original authors, Mario Dorion and Martin Leclerc. For unknown reasons the users of the format started to call it ChordPro.
