Hello. I really like how you red highlight the chords at the beginning but then you just show part a, part b etc. Can't remember the chords?!

Ten Thumbs. Just wondering why you don't play at least a portion of your songs in continuum, say a verse and chorus.
Not everybody is an absolute beginner. Thanks.
