Miscellaneous Song Sheets with guitar chords
I have received a wonderful bundle of hand-written song sheets from Ian in Queensland, - a lifetime's worth of songs which he'd added chords to, and was willing to share.
There are more songs than I would ever have the time to type out and format with chord diagrams etc. (and there are many songs which are beyond the levels I've done, as well as many I don't know), so I thought it may be useful to scan the sheets as they are and make them available for download. I'll also add some from my song collection that are not suitable for my normal format (or that I may not get time to type up/format etc).
I have levelled them roughly according to the Guitar Songs levels elsewhere on this site. Many have chords that are not included in the CathysChords charts, so if you're not an experienced player you may need to look up some if the chords online.
If you want to change the chords to a key that's easier to sing/play, but are not sure how, have a look at Changing the Key.
So, thanks to Ian's generous donation of material, here is a list of song sheets, in roughly alphabetical order, that you may download for your use. Please note that we do not own the songs - these are personal interpretations and are provided 'as is' for the purposes of study.
I'll add more as I get them scanned, labelled/levelled and uploaded. So far, I've done the A's....
