None very accurate. The Guitar Pro-versions seem even worse:
- Chords - Version 1 (4,5 ★ * 185): Quite accurate
- Chords - Version 2 (4,5 ★ * 31): Transposed to G - Not accurate
- Chords - Version 3 (4,5 ★ * 113): Transposed to Am - Not accurate
- Chords - Version 5 (4,5 ★ * 94): Quite accurate, but with a capo, which isn't necessary
- Chords - Version 6 (5 ★ * 100): Not very accurate
