මට ගී පද, ස්වර හා කෝඩ්ස් ලබාදෙන websites, apps කීපයක් තියේ. මෙයා නිසාම ඒ system වල සෑහෙන වෙනස්කම් කලා. Chorus 1 උනත් එක තැනක එක විදිහක් තව තැනක තව විදිහක්. අහන කෙනෙක්ට තෙරෙන්නෙ නෑ වෙනස. Chords සම්පුර්න වෙනස්. මාර හැකියාවක් ඒක. එහෙම වෙන ආටිස්ට්ලා නෑ. ඒ ලෙවල් 1ට හැරෙන්නවත්. සුපිරි දක්ශයෙක්. එක එක කාලෙට කවුරු ආවත් මෙයා තමා ලන්කාවෙ හැමදාම music legend.
