Chord sheets, do they work here? Crystal Kingdom

The other day I was musing about how ultimate-guitar.com is such a valuable resource that's so awful and so close to becoming completely unusable because of how transparently greedy it is, so maybe I'll start crossposting some chords of my own here! This is a test of that viability.

Here's an old version of "Crystal Kingdom" from The Adventure Zone: Balance, arranged pretty specifically for ukulele and not precisely following the actual version in the show.

Em                    G      A7  
Pulled from my home inside a cloud
Am                 Em     B7
Lost to the dark I drift alone
Em                 A7       D#dim
Now I'm returned beyond the shroud
Am             Bm  D#dim Em
Ever to reign upon   my  throne
Cmaj7      Bm   D#dim  Em
Here in my Crys - tal  Kingdom

Em               G   A7
I saw beyond the omniverse
Am                  Em        B7
Far past the places we should see
Em                A7    D#dim
But for my vision I was cursed
Am                    Bm  D#dim   Em
Torn from my home and fa -  mi  - ly
Cmaj7      Bm   D#dim Em
Lost to my Crys - tal Kingdom

Em                      G     A7
Saved from the darkness by my child
Am                  Em        B7
Locked in a cage of glass and steel
    Em                   A7   D#dim
But my true love remains in exile
Am              Bm    D#dim Em
Beckoning me to break  the  seal
Cmaj7      Bm   D#dim Em
Into this Crys - tal  Kingdom

Em                      G       A7
Kept from our children, lovers, friends
Am                 Em      B7
Subject to laws we did not make
Em                A7     D#dim
This is where separation ends
    Am                     Bm   D#dim  Em
And souls of the lost will come   a  - wake
Cmaj7      Bm    D#dim E
Enter this Crys - tal  Kingdom



If this ends up looking the way I expect once I hit post I think it's overall viable, although the thing where the horizontal spacing goes away if you switch to HTML and back to rich view is a little annoying.  Hopefully it stays at all without a billion nbsps!

EDIT: Well, the spaces worked (and now there are indeed a billion nbsps in the HTML which I didn't have to personally add, yay), but my intention of putting the chords themselves in a dropdown didn't.  You live and you learn it, I guess.

EDIT 2: Oh!  The cut does work when viewed on my overall blog and not the link to the specific post.  Love wins.
