This (https://regex101.com/r/xQ5vd6/4) works on your example text (surrounding chords with bold HTML tags) but will fail on any lyric line that begins with anything from A to G. And it doesn't handle the more complex chord designations (like flats).
Which would suggest the best approach would be a little Perl script you could access as a Text Filter in BBEdit that would just look at odd-numbered lines (assuming the chords are first in the selection) and add the HTML formatting where a chord is found, no doubt using several regexes, looking for the longer, more complex strings first. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
