Slashes between chords indicate that they share one measure: | [C]/ D – D – /[Am7] D – D – |

NOTE: Where you see this symbol "(=)" it means that a new measure is starting, but don't change chords (I would write the chord in, instead of an equals sign, but then "transpose" won’t look right).

Remember that an Ab can also be played like an F, but at the barred 3rd fret.
