I transcribed these out of a book sometime in the early 1990s. I no longer have the book, and I don't remember the title or the author. The original book had fretboard diagrams, which I translated into a simple textual format so I could write scripts against them.
I have some old Perl code that can render the fretboard diagrams as PDF, which I will publish somewhere if I can make it work again.
Each row has column for each string, numbered 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. The number in the column represents the fret that should be fingered, or
Xto indicate the string should not be played. For movable chords, there is also a list of "roots", which are the strings where the root of the chord can be found.
