I'm looking for a macro package which will easily enable me to put the names
of simple guitar chords over words of song lyrics.

For example, I would like the output to look like this:

C              G            Am                  F
Met her at the Burger King, fell in love over a Pepsi


Right now I'm getting the job done with the tabbing environment, but it makes
the input quite unreadable, and is a pain to do:

Met her at the \= Burger King, \= fell in love over a \=Pepsi \kill
C \> G \> Am \> F  \\*
Met her at the Burger King, fell in love over a Pepsi  \\*

Ideally, the input would look something like this:

\ch{C}Met her at the \ch{G}Burger King, \ch{Am}fell in love over a \ch{F}Pepsi

If anyone knows of a macro package available or maybe some sort of special
\over mode, help of any kind would be greatly apprectiated.

Thanks in advance,
Luke
