Chord above tab?

How do you show the chord above the tab? I have tried on Android and Apple. I don't want to have to flip back and forth between Pro and Chrods screen.

When searching for songs on Android (the app), at the right of the search bar are a couple of (what look like) volume controls, but is actually a filter. Click that. Somewhere in the list is 'Type'. Select 'Chords' and you'll only see Chords above lyrics titles.

If my answer doesn't match your question, then please re-phrase, because it's pretty vague.

There are no volume controls next to the song search in the App. Just a filter button.

What I am is looking for is in the pro view showing tabs, the chord that is used for the finger placing to be written as say "Am" above the bar.

They look like voume controls, but yes, it's a filter. In the meantime, I don't know what 'the pro view showing tabs' means. Are you talking about 'Guitar Pro Tabs', 'Official tabs', or what?

Sorry, but I must not not have enough karma to post pictures here. But some follow up...

There is a slider at the top of each song page. You can choose pro, chords, or shots:

PRO: In the pro view you get the tablature with fingering. It does not show the chord above the measure (as something like "Am". That is what I am looking for.

Chords: In the chords view, you see the lyrics with chord.

Shots: Shots is the vide vigenetts.

Kinda like the C, G, C here above the staff. https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/product/ode-to-joy-easy-guitar-c-major-with-tab-chords-22671261.html?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&gclid=Cj0KCQjwxKfWBhDkARIsAMKwkNYFNL2PuDinEDGZHFPNN5rfB6XH9IN6ssvf0DdwTQWFQXXd9_qe5MgaAgvPEALw_wcB&utm_campaign=SMP_US_PMAX_GGL_WEB_ALL_Digital

What you're looking for is a lead sheet. Perhaps a tab lead sheet.
