Thanks, Jack!

Can you point me to some guide for the chord changes on European sheet music? Is "La" an F chord, or in the first bar, F/A? What about "La+"? I guess I could always follow the bass line and figure out the chords.

Hi,

Here is the clue :

La=A
Sib=Bb
Si=B
Do=C
Do#=C#
Ré=D
Mib=Eb
Mi=E
Fa=F
Fa#=F#
Sol=G
Sol#=G#
La=A

It is a music sheet for accordion, in this time they used to write La+ or sometimes Lax for an Am chord (La mineur). So be carefull it is not an Am5+.
Now as it is an accordion music sheet sometimes you have B Ré / B Mi.
Here B stands for bass so for instance the music begins with Am then Am/D then Am/E.
The other chords you can guess easily Mi7 = E7 ; Ré+=Dm and so on.
