Subject: Tech: Software for drawing guitar chords.
Does anyone know of any software (preferably free!) that allows you to draw chord shapes, add text/lyrics and save them as printable files?

Playing in open tunings I find I am often making the chord shapes up as I go along - and they can be a sod to remember 6 months (or 6 years) down the line. You know the scenario: "Yes I used to play that!" ... (fingers turn to bananas, mind goes blank).

Even in 'standard' tuning some songs have unusual chords, which once forgotten, can leave one scratching ones head...

I've tried powerpoint etc. but it would be quicker with a Biro and a sheet of paper!

I've tried searching the web but the google results are awash with things like '10000,s of chord shapes! Be a rock god!' and so on.
