(* Play the Bb7 as a barre chord on the 6th fret to make it sound right, i.e. 686766. - Trond.)
The position of the chords is about right I think. In many cases they should be played on the start of the word that follows the chord. For example, (F)scarlet ... means the F is played on the s. My positioning of the chords isn't exactly the same as the sheet music - it doesn't always correspond to where the guitar chord has been placed. But it does agree with the chord (or note) in the piano notation.
