@PHJ, it doesn't stop the odd ambulance-chaser from the music-publishing industry though, which is why the fakebookers do it, on the basis of your argument. At the end of the day, all any song is is a sequence of chords and words, and that can be copyright: but alter one note and it's no longer the same. A beginner needs to know that if it sounds wrong, it may well be, and why. That's all, just a warning to those who might be led astray otherwise.
