Songs are listed A – Z by Artist.
Songs with an unknown writer are kept in the Traditional library
The chords and lyrics to songs here are provided as a guide to playing the song yourself rather than replicating the exact sound of a recording. I hope to keep updating this site with more chords for songs as I go about my life. I’m sure you can tell the current collection is not comprehensive, but I hope you find what you’re looking for…
Please take some time to check out my other work and pages here where I got by another name 🙂
Folk & Bluegrass Chord Book 
Saw you’ve been doing some Tanglefoot songs lately. Any chance of working in One More Night? I’m a beginner ukulele player and can’t ear out a song quite yet. Thanks.
Hi Jon, I’ve updated this page now – for the chords of One More Night by Tanglefoot – it’s much better than it was: https://chordbook.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/one-more-night-by-tanglefoot/
Really nice collection of songs!
Really nice collection of songs…..very clear and organized, thanks so much!
Hi there,
Really like this collection, much appreciated. Can I respectively suggest one change for accuracy, with regard to both the title and artist for one song: “Bamboo” which is listed under Peter, Paul and Mary?
The song is actually called “River Comes Down” and was written and recorded by Dave Van Ronk in 1961, the year before the PP&M cover version. (The Peter, Paul and Mary album in question also erroneously titles the song “Bamboo”, but does accurately credit Dave Van Ronk as the songwriter.)
Thanks again!
Corrected now, thanks for the heads up 🙂
Hi, what a great resource – thanks. Would it be possible to add a key to your terms for novices like me? For e.g what does Asus mean on teach you children well? And does m following a chord letter mean minor?
Hi Sarah, the ‘sus’ means suspended chord – which on guitar, usually means adding or removing one finger to a complimentary note. There is better info online if you search for what is a sus chord.
The ‘m’ stands for minor – following a chord means it’s a minor chord
I would really like tabs for the banjo for sea shantys. I just started play the banjo, but can not find by banjo tabs for shantys.
Hi Tops’l Bill, have you made any progress? What type of banjo do you play – is it a 5 string in open G? I could add some more tabs, some chords can be hard to play in open G on a banjo, however, G C and D are quite easy.
