as simple as that, Larry. Play the song very slowly, see where the chords are, type them in the computer at the same time. Get's round having to do a complicated apc to smf convert and having to pay for a program that calculates chords from a midi file, although that can be useful in other ways. But it is by far the quickest way for simple lead sheet.
cheers.
