From: Bernie Finkel Great website!! I am ressurecting my love of folk music again and you have a bunch of songs that I was dying to get the lyrics and chords for. Your transposing program is greatly appreciated. I did notice one mistake on the chords of the "night they drove old dixie down" Am C F Dm(should be Am)...sounds right that way. If you are looking for another song to add on to your Inventory...I'd like to see you add Scarlet Ribbons. thanks

From: Marga Grundel I am a beginner. I am learning the X-mas song :Oh holy night. I am playing it with the notes. No sharps or flats. it starts with eee,open ggg aa and so on. What key is this, and I would love to play a few chords with the notes, as it sounds very simple and boring. I would love, if you can answer me before X-mas. All the best, marga x

From: sarah Wow! Thank you so much for the chords and words to these songs. Many of them are songs I love, so I really enjoy learning them. Do you think you might be able to find "The Lovin' Of The Game" by Steve Goodman? It's a beautiful folk song. I would be very grateful to you if you could post it!

From: joni
Thank you so much for the songs, several of them I have never been able to play but your versions are friendly. I have been playing for 35 years and like your mom, I have collected many and made them easier and my own, so let me know if you are looking for something that I might have. I hope that someday my children will join me in playing also. thanks, joni

From: Pegleg
Enjoyed your site, didn't have the specific song I was searching for but your sense of humor in "Aaron Who?" was worth the visit! Here's hoping the copyright lawyers don't shut you down... it's getting real difficult to find tab sites these days that they haven't threated with legal action.

I'm so amazed at your website! I'm singing a few songs for my brother in law's celebration of life and wanted to check the chords on a few of his favorite songs. I stumbled upon your site and found what I wanted and so much more. We will be singing in a huge family circle in a few weeks. So the tradition of family being together singing through good times and bad lives on. Thanks to your mother and thanks to both of you. Deb London ON Canada

Love this site, I have found some songs I have been looking for to teach my grandchildren. Here's another verse for Away with rum: We never drink orange juice, cuse orange juice ferments, one little sip makes a man lose his sence.Can you imagine a sorrier tale, than a man getting snookered when his orange juice turns stale.

From: Cordelia
Hi Aaron, thank you for this great compilation of songs. I especially like the possibility to transpose the chords with a single mouseclick! I found a small error in "I'm In Love With a Big Blue Frog": In the line "His mother was a frog from Philadelphia" the chords should be A A7 D D7 rather than A A7 E E7. I'll bookmark your page now and will return very often.

this is great for me as a have a classical background but a great desire to play and sing folksongs which my brain doesnt seem to be wired to do! the transposer is perfect as I read excellently but ear training was poor.

From: Chris Dempsey Found the site looking for guitar chords but have enjoyed reading through other parts. Though your issues with squirrels may be resolved, my brother has many... and I am sure he will be rolling when I have him read the story. Good Luck in PR and many thanks for the good reading.

LOVE your website and the songs you put out there. Haven't played guitar since first grade lessons, in 1966, but I picked up my sons and started strumming! I am inspired now. Do you have Like a Rolling Stone? Cotton Fields? Especially the Seekers: Morningtown Ride, A World of Our Own? Thank you!

From: Clay McGilvray
I found your webb site looking for some lyrics to some Peter Paul & Mary songs I had heard from my older brothers albums when I was around 12. We have a group that meets once a month and plays old folk, Irish, and country tunes and I have loved learning to play some of them. I think your chord layouts are very neet and easy for me to read and play.

From: Alan Hoyle
I came across this site some years back & rated it highly. Now I've tracked it down again & still rate it highly. Just one little correction - the lyrics to 'Universal Soldier' have one error which throws the whole song off message: it's 'he's fighting _for_ the USA...' & not 'he's fighting the USA'. It's still a great site! Huge thanks!!

Hi, Saturday morning here in Dublin Ireland and I was searching for some songs to entertain my 3 month, 3 year and 4.5 year old kids. Straight into my favourites thanks! Rarely get a chance to take the guitar out other than giggin g with my bass so a special morning for me and the kids. Forgot I knew so many of those numbers - great fun had by all and a new generation get exposed to this great music. "The times they are a-changing", but some things remain thankfully the same!

From: Gwynn Evans
I have been looking for many songs since I teamed up with a new friend and began to sing old songs. My song books were unfortunately thrown away. Replacing songs I have been collecting since 1963 has been horrific. Your site is great because not only do you have chords, you have reasonable chords and don't have every other song in the key of E or F or some other ridiculous key that no one ever plays in. Thanks for all your work and thanks to your mom!!

Hi!! Wanted to express my gratitude = Just came across your site and all of the types of songs I wanted to learn were right there, all compiled. Totally perfect collection - please don't ever take down! Thanks!!

From: Ron McKeown
Hi Great site. I cannot find San Miguel, Kingston Trio, anywhere on the internet. Do you have their chords? Regards Ron
Many thanks for all the hard work you've carried out in compiling this website. I am carrying out an inventory of my repertoire and found your site while checking an item or two.
Best wishes and, once again, many thanks.
Tony The Driver
Thank you so much
I love this site! It truly is better than the other chord sites because it's simple, yet correct. I've learned many songs from this site that I'd never even heard of before. It's the perfect combination of artists, too! Thanks a lot for making it, I have it bookmarked on my computer! -Peace
Great sing-along songs. I have been working on a similar idea with guitar chords although not as a website. I have 194 great singalong songs from 50's 60'70's with some overlap with yours. I have printouts that I give out when I lead singing in groups. I will add a bunch of yours. I have more beatles, motown, early rock. You might mention to people that they can brush up on the melodies on youtube. Every song on your list that I looked up was there. I would be happy to share my songs with you. You can email me through www.bernieheideman.com I couldn't find an email for you on your site. I couldn't leave my list because your comment box said it was too long. So email me and I'll send you the list.
Please remove my previous post. And send me your email.
March 1st, 2011
Great site, thank you. However, i've been trying to navigate through it and it is very very slow, it keeps freezing on me, are you experiencing problems ? I'll be back soon.
Thank you again,
Donald
The least thing I can do is to THANK YOU!
Thank you very much for your music lyrics! I have two corrections to make, though. (hehe, You're obviously not from Massachusetts.) In "Sweet Baby James", they are "Berkshires", not "Birkshires seem dreamlike..."
In MTA (Charlie and the MTA), it's Chelsea, not Chelsie.
One suggestion: On the homepage for the songs, it would be helpful for you to post the name of the font and its size. It took quite some experimentation for me to find the correct one that would keep the chords in the right place after cut & paste. (I'm using OpenOffice, not WORD, but it's supposed to be the same.) The font you used is called SimSun, and size 10. Second suggestion, or whining.... I hate this font once it's transferred over to my docs. It takes up more room than a more typical TimesNewRoman, and it's really THIN to read - for us old geezers. When you have NOTHING else to do with your time, may I suggest changing the songs to TimesNewRoman - everybody's default, you know...
If that's too hard, perhaps just for future additions, but you'd have to post the font name so folks would know.
THANKS !
P.S. How about some of the early Beach Boys tunes?
I have been using your guitar chords altered slightly for my autoharp.(Can't find a blasted book written any more recent than the 1970's so finding material online is impossible)I wondered if you would post songs for children, I am specifically looking for "Little David Play On Your Harp."
Great story re life/squirrels/wrestlers and your loves. Please keep your life story going. Entertaining!
Fabulous collection of guitar songs
Will renew my love of playing...
Thank you thank you!!!
Aaron: Great site, that I will need to explore further as time permits.
"The Band" sang "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Wonderful song! (I see you did not have an artist listed for it.)
Thanks!
Assuming that you are still adding songs to your site, I would request "All I Know" by Jimmy Webb from Art Garfunkle's Angel Claire CD or "Another Lullaby" also by Jimmy Webb and from the same CD. I am an old but new learning guitarist and can't find these on any site. Just found yours and printed off a bunch of old favorites. Thanks, CSB
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!
Some of the happiest times of my life were in high school & college (roughly 1968-76) and my $25 sunspotted guitar (which was why it was sold to me so cheap) went with me everywhere. I gave it up a long time ago, but just got a brand new nylon string folk guitar, and it's coming back as naturally as riding a bicycle. These songs are breathing life back into me!!! (Also, thank your mom for me for starting this!!!) Prayers, hugs & kisses from an old flower child!!!
Aaron ,good site ! I was wondering if you have anything on Ian& Syliva 's "Every evening when the sun goes down" or "got no more home than a dog" Thanks for your work ,I like this era of the music from the past . not easy to find a collection like yours . Jerry
Aaron- I think you've done a wonderful thing collecting and publishing these songs. Thank you. BTW- 'And When I Die' was written by Laura Nyro, and 'Wayfaring Stranger' dates back to the early 1700's.
Just a coupla touches to spruce up the good work you've already done...
As a 60+ year old guitar student I am really enjoying your site,brings back the 60's, thanks!
Auntie Duck
Great site site - really useful and free!!!!
Thanks a ton for your website!
Awesome site. Thanks for posting all your hard work. Best site I've found for guitar songs.
Love this sing-along site! Thanks so much.
--Pam S.
Thanks for collecting and posting this great song collection, much appreciated. One thing is that "Waltzing Matilda" was written by Banjo Paterson (lyrics) and Christina Macpherson (music).
Best wishes, Angie in Oz.
Wonderful collection!! Thanks for sharing!!
your page is great, ive been looking for something like this my whole life! theres one song ive always wanted to learn though and cant quite figure it out, maybe you can help. The Girl by City and Colour. please.
Nice site dude. I love your transcriptions, simple and effective.
I have been playing guitar for 25 years, and I have struggled to find chords (that I can play) for some of the songs I love and grew up with. This is by far one of the best collections I have ever seen. This opens doors that I had a hard time with. kudo's to you, and your mother.
I used to play the guitar and sing professionally when I was in my 20s. I got seriously ill, and now I'm trying to pick my guitar back up and get back to music. Your site has so many things that are valuable to me, especially the song chords and lyrics. I just wanted to say thanks!
Andrea
I love your site, I see songs here I have been unable to find elsewhere. Thanks
Hi Aaron just wanted to thank you for your work on this site it is one of the best i have seen,you dson,t have to be a computer wizard to use it and the are all great tunes. keep up the good work' from JOHN C
Good work. A great collection. Was looking for a couple of Kingston Trio songs: Scotch and Soda; The Seine. Be great if you could include them.
God bless, Dale K
I love your song list and use it frequently. But what has changed? the songs all look like this now:
\begin{song}{4}{Goodnight Irene (Leadbelly, Weavers)} \begin{chorus} \c{C}Irene \c{G}goodnig\c{G7}ht, Irene \c{C}goodnight Good\c{C}night I\c{C7}rene, good\c{F}night Irene, I'll \c{G7}see you in my \c{C}dreams. \end{chorus} ...
Thanks, a grateful visitor, Frank

From Chas Tildesley.
Hi,I must say I did enjoy your site,but your new format I donn't,
Please return to old.
Kind regards..Chas
The links are broken
Hope this is temporary
love your site, I have used it for quite some time. unfortunatly being a little computer eliterate,I can't get it to work since you upgraded it. I've got java but it still won't work. anyway as I said I love your site,there are songs on it that I've nt seen elsware. Thanks, Jim
Sorry about the broken songs: there was a javascript error that applied to non-Firefox browsers (and I used Firefox to test the javascript). The problem should be solved now. Please let me know if not.
Hi Aaron :
Nice site,nice family ! I have bougt a new guitar, after my grandsons destroyed my old one, some time ago.
Your song list is amazing, but were they (song) removed off ? I click on any of them, nothing happens.
Thanks,
Nilson Junior
Fortaleza-Brazil
It seems like every one I try to vire, there is nothing there but a blank page.
Thanks so much for compiling this and adding the transpose feature. Really appreciate all your time and effort (and your mom's) Wow. Heaven. I am a voice and choral teacher and these are great for fun songs and warmups. (and for my own gigs.)
Did something change? The format is different than before. I can't use it that way. Is it a setting on my computer or ???
How did you miss 'Red River Vally'?? :))
You have brought back my past memory. I pick up my daughter's guitar and play a few songs that I used to sing when I was a teen. Good work. I wonder if you are able to get a song "Seven daffodils", I think it starts with "I may not have a mansion..".
Cheers
Vincent
What a great selection of songs. I have been looking for a software tool to digitally store chord files with the cool transposer .. any chance you could do a short post about the method?
Lee in Florida.
Very nice site and thanks so much. This has saved me so much time in finding songs for a women's retreat for us to sing.
How do i print these songs? Or, is there a printable version, because copying and pasting doesn't work.
What an excellent resource for songs to play and refresh the soul. Thanks!
Nice website.
You should put in the lyrics and chords for "Copperhead Road" it is a great country/rock song.
Aaron- Great canoe/squirrel/Sarah story. I stumbled upon the song list last night. Well done! When my girls were little, I would tuck them in and play/sing old songs to them. Now my youngest is wed to another guitarist, and he is continuing the tradition with their two little guys. I'm going to add to his goodnight repertoire with some songs from the list that I had forgotten about. An aside: at Summer Camp when I was 9, the Kingston Trio was big. I learned MTA and many others and have never forgotten them. Do you know that there is a spoken intro to MTA? I've had it stuffed in my head since that Summer and would be happy to send it to you if interested. Thank you for your site. Just great! John B.
I was trying to use your system for q and A for a quizz. I couldn't get your song and author to match the first line of song so it all fell flat. Have the numbers all got out of sync somehow or have I not pressed the right buttons?
THANK YOU! this is awesome!
Michelle
this is a great site...been using it for years...maybe this will help someone
Margaritaville lost verse

look under Banana boat song...you might like the terriers version even better
Great site! Lot of effort put into it. I do have one problem that I have to resolve though. I can view the songs and chords just fine on my iPad, but all formatting is lost on my PC. Every word is bunched together, word after word. I do have JavaScript enabled, so it must be something else. Anyway if you have any idea how to fix it, I'd appreciate knowing, otherwise keep up the good work.
Hey Aaron, great site! Could you add your free guitar tuner to your list? It's http://www.123guitartuner.com
Cheers

Hi I have Java installed but can't transcribe can you help, Thanks Bev. bejo41@live.co.uk
Hi have been in touch before, have Java installed and can't Transpose.
Any suggestions?
Thanks Bev. bejo41@live.co.uk
I can't get the material to spread out. Its all bunched up at the top of the page and very hard to ascertian.
Thank you. I have found many songs here. Could you give the chords for Git Along Little Yearlings? I can't find them anywhere.
t99AI would like to get the sheet music with words to several of your songs for a sing along at my family reunion. Where can I find this
Hey,
really like the site, some of these oldies are hard to find.
i just found one error some might be interested in:
Although, on the song "daddy you've been on my mind" i am quite sure that the Dm7 is in fact an F.
they are similar, but if you listen closely, especially to Judy Collins' version you can see and hear it is and F.
best,
R
I 'stumbled' upon your site using Stumble! and I am so grateful for your page! I am learning guitar and am so excited to see some of my favorite songs all in one place. Thanks a lot.
Elise
Great site.
Could you add the old tune "Blue Water Line"
Has a phrase in it which goes " if you can't afford a quarter then you outta give a dime, if everybody gave then we could save that blue water line."
Thanks
Ron
I am learning to play guitar and i was wondering if you had the chords and lyrics to the song 'picture' by kidd rock and Sheryl Crowe. Thanks
Darlene
Just kinda stumbled on your site, awesome job...I loved it. Very cool for evening gatherings at home with friends and my guitar. Thanks so much.
Even as an experienced guitarist I love your site and cross section of music. Thank You!!!!
Just updated the website with a new method for generating the html from the original song transcriptions. This should enable more browsers to view the songs, notably Internet Explorer.
I just re-found this site. It's a great resource.
In Fire and rain, a Cmaj7 at the end of the line sounds good.
The other issue is crediting writers,
"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" is a song written by Canadian musician Robbie Robertson, first recorded by The Band in 1969 and released on their self-titled second album. Joan Baez's cover of the song was a top-five chart hit in late 1971." Wikipedia.
It's important to recognize their work, otherwise we'd have to hum with no melody!
Me and Bobby McGee was not written by Janis Joplin, she only covered it.
It was written by Kris Kristofferson.
Did some work to improve the formatting of columns of text.
Craftsmen/artisans should be cheaper
Hi, great site.
You have the song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" listed as "Traditional" when in fact it was written by Levon Helm and Robbie Robertson and released on The Band's second album in 1969.
Thanks, Bob K
Totally love this thing. Do you know of any other more modern songbooks that use this same easy to view system.
I'd love to see some Oasis, Old Crow Medicine Show, Taylor Swift, 3rd Eye Blind, etc in here....
clay@wellmixed.com
It wasn't fun explaining why all these young asian girls are "on line" to my 12 year old daughter, who was otherwise very interested in the songs on your sight. I realize you need advertising to pay the overhead on this site, but can you at least find some advertisers that are more rated "G".
Thanks...
Eesh. Sorry about the bad ads. To the best of my knowledge, I have all questionable content blocked from my ad network. If you can provide more information about what the offending ad was advertising, I can dig deeper into finding out how it appeared on my site.
Nice web site and thank you. I was looking for lyrics to songs my family knows well so we could sing with my mother, who suffers with Alzheimers, when we go to visit. Music has always been such a huge part of her life and she always loves it when someone comes to sing or play an instrument. So thank you so much for this.
I have the Chord Buddy attachment to my guitar. It has only 4 available chords. G, C, D and E. How can I get songs on your list transposed so I can play them?
Hi from Søren in Denmark.
I found your song book, and are amazed about the possibilities I suddenly got.
I'm learning to play guitar, and this book is a great help to me.
Thank you, and compliments on this very good job.
Kind regards
Søren
Thank you so much for this wonderful resource. It is like you read my mind and heart to pick all my favorite sing-along songs. I have never heard the song The Klan before - it made me cry. Keep up the good work and play!
Thank You, This is Awesome!
all the best,
Lee
WOW!!!
I just stumbled upon this site. Fabulous! And Transposition Too?!!
I don't see comments newer than 2011, which seems surprising. Is the site still actively maintained?
Anyhow... This is Great! Thank you.
- Suz
This is amazing! The only thing that I would add is Piano Man. Seriously, what an amazing resource. Thank you for this!
Great Songs .... Cords were are all wrong !
Thanks for the site. The lyrics for James Taylor "Fire and Rain" go "Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun", so please make that change.
In the song, "Suzanne," the line should read, Our Lady of the Harbor - it's a title for Mary in Catholicism.
Hi - nice site, especially the transposing feature.
"Reason to Believe" has a chord error, I think.
Just before the chorus, the last line of the verse is:
Still I'd look (C) to find a reason (G) to believe (D) (D7)
I believe this should be :
Still I look (Em) to find a reason (C) to believe (D)
Thanks!
Hi again -
for this song - "Away With Rum (Bikel Theo)" - the writer is Theodore (or Theo) Bikel, not the other way around...
Thanks,
- Valerie
I'm a ukulele player from Newtown Square Pennsylvania, USA, my community is outside Philadelphia. I love your selections and the chords and lyrics are excellent. I've never seen the % signs on music before, what do they represent? Bob Gross
This is great! I have been asked to come and play for a group to sing around a camp fire and as all I know is country and rock songs. Can I print off your web page in larger print so I can pass out copies for people to sing?
Thanks
Wonderful songs! Thank you for all the effort you put in. And sharing :-)
I would like to hear the dragon song by billy berson, but i cant find it anywhere. i made up my own melody to it for now. if you know where i can listen to it, please let me know
Thank you for having these here. I am away from home so playing a borrowed guitar and without chords and lyrics it's no fun. You have enabled fun. When I get home I will try to find some time to share with you.
Thanks again,
I've just found this site :) love it!! Im a bit of a newbie guitarist and was wondering if you could tell me what the "%" means after each chord.
Thanks in Advance

"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" is not traditional. It was written by Robbie Robertson and first released on "The Band" album by The Band in 1969, then a top 10 hit by Joan Baez in 1971
I'm so glad I found this! I can't play bar chords because I have crooked fingers, and the ability to transpose stuff so I can play the song is making learning guitar much easier. Thank you for all the effort you've put in! Could you do "Gentle On My Mind" by John Hartford.
(Oh dear. My post seems to have got swallowed, so I'm doing it again.)
Lovely song collection - many from my 'era'. Having got myself roped into teaching varisized people to play guitar, I had a great time finding songs (especially some with only 2 chords). (In case it interests you, Harry Nilsson's 'Put the lime in the coconut' and Aretha Franklin's 'Chain of Fools' are 1-chorders.) Thanks!!
Love this list. But what do the % mean? They show up eveywhere seemingly at random. I'm reading on a Kindle Fire.
Just wanting to say thanks. Lots of songs here that are of my era and my tribe. Oh, and somehow "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" got "Wonderful World" mixed into it. I don't think they're related
Thank you for this place in the data world , I really needed the help you have provided .
It will open up my music . I can not stop smiling from this new knowledge.
Thank you, this is great!
I ran across this last night while searching for 60's folk songs with lyrics and guitar chords. I am so grateful that you put this together and made it available to everyone. I just love it!
Thx
Dave
This is a great site and it was very generous of you to share it. All these songs will bring back memories to a lot of people, I know it did to me.
Still using this site in 2022!Thanks!
