Guitar tabs and lyrics

Things I have tried

Currently all my guitar tabs (i.e., song lyrics with chord letters above the corresponding position in the text) are various bookmarks on websites like ultimate-guitar.com etc.

Ideally, however, I’d like to have them all in a similar format in Obsidian. What would be a god way to achieve that?

What somewhat works is to use a codeblock and just copy/paste the tabs from the website. The monospace font ensures that the chord letters are in the correct positions above the lyrics.

However, when the lines are too long for the window (e.g., when you shrink the Obsidian window, or look at the file on mobile), this doesn’t really work anymore.

Is there a plugin or custom way around that? Something very similar would be this: markdown-it-chords: Write your lyric sheets in markdown , however I am not sure how that functionality could be added in Obsidian (still new to this).
