I've been banging my head all afternoon trying to derive a regex the will 
identify lines (of a song) that contains chords.

eg

E   B7   E  A  Am  E  
This is a line of a song
           E
This is a line of a song
      B7      E      E7
This is a line of a song
         A
This is a line of a song
                  E
This is a line of a song
             B7
This is a line of a song
                  E        A Am  E  
This is a line of a song

There could be spaces before or after the chord names and the only way I 
can think to distinguish chords from regular words is that chords are 
likely to have more than one space after them - or a newline

I've got as far as [A-G][6|7|9|m|#|♯|b|♭|aug|dim]

but the spaces and newlines have me flumoxed.

Can anyone help?
