| Sun Nov 8 23:58:12 2009 From: James A. Glynn | Correction. I just read your website. Congratulations on already expanding your family. I'm impressed with your quest to understand the universe. Why not pick something big, really big. Got my Ph.D. so long ago that it's now probably worth a B.A. |
| Sun Nov 8 22:24:09 2009 From: James A. Glynn | I've been a "beginning guitarist" for about 40 years. I still need to see where chord changes are made in even the simplest songs. No ear for music, but not too bad a voice. This site is fantastic, and I want you to know how much I appreciate being able to play and sing some of my all-time favorites. I don't know why you take the time to give this service, but I thank you and wish the best to you and your soon-to-be expanded family. Sincerely, Jim Glynn |

| Sat Oct 24 08:32:44 2009 From: martin | hi |
| Fri Oct 23 22:45:19 2009 From: Bob Smith | I love it. I wrote a program to transpose like yours, in basic a few years ago, got no idea how to make it work in Jave and html so glad to see you doing it. Sitting here with my ukulele hav ing a blast. Thank you, thank you! |
| Fri Oct 23 03:16:05 2009 From: Alan Gibson | Just tripped over your site whilst stumbling around on the net. Love it! spent two hours strumming and singing along to many songs I barely knew the words for. I can see i will be able to double my repertoir in no time. Transposition feature is a real bonus. keep up the good work, this is what enjoying music is all about. |
| Wed Oct 21 19:10:02 2009 From: Will | Amazing site. I love the transposing feature. Makes my life much easier. Thank you. |
| Sun Oct 18 23:45:03 2009 From: David Ntikie Kgakole | hi, great site. this will give me a lot of stress-relief time on saturday |
| Fri Oct 16 14:24:39 2009 From: Bill Rowe | I do a lot of my practice in front of my computer so this page is great for me, I love the way you have it outlined, thanks Bill |
| Thu Oct 15 09:11:13 2009 From: Alyssa | Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We end up looking up chords and lyrics on blackberrys on the back porch when we're desperate. You just saved the neighbors from another night of expletive filled drunk text-to-tiny keys fumbling howls. :) |
| Wed Oct 14 06:53:36 2009 From: Chris Salter | Hi Aaron, Hope this finds you, Sarah and Judah fit, well and settled back at Berkeley? We miss your ever-cheerful presence here at Arecibo. We are currently recovering from an invasion of folks from last week's DPS meeting in Fajardo, (we had ~250 of the participants visiting the Observatory on Saturday!) Tapasi, Pia, dogs and cats all fine at this end. Would need a beer or two over which to discuss developments at AO! :-) Saludos desde Puerto Rico, Chris |
| Tue Oct 13 22:16:00 2009 From: DANO | Great site lots of awesomes songs..Man your site helped me play guitar more often thank you soo much.. |
| Tue Oct 13 17:07:21 2009 From: sam | Thank you! Thank you! Your site is just brilliant. Kudos for making the pages "printable." Why all music sites don't do that is totally beyond me. Did I say thank you? |
| Thu Oct 8 20:02:57 2009 From: KEITH | Thanks so much for your collection, i've been looking for 60's folk song/campfire songs for awhile. Memories from childhood I guess. The transpose tool is a huge help for me, a very limited player who enjoys playing but suffers from limited range. Thanks again. |
| Thu Oct 8 19:45:25 2009 From: Richard | Genius!! Love the transposing feature on the songs. I am going to pass your site on to my guitar group. We are always looking for songs to play together. |
| Sun Oct 4 23:38:02 2009 From: chatboy | cool stuff! if we can parse in a set of chords and get the "transposed" chord progression ... it'll save me a lot of time! ;-) Not that it's really hard to do ... just that most of us are lazy ... heh heh. Keep up the good work. |
| Tue Sep 22 03:37:03 2009 From: veebee | thank you |
| Sat Sep 19 18:21:53 2009 From: Richard C. | Echoing Dave's remarks from yesterday -- I stumbled (actually was led by Google) across your site in a search for guitar chords to "City of New Orleans." Imagine my surprise to find software in operation that allowed instant transposition of the whole chart to any key. THAT deserved a bookmark and a communication to you. I notice you are making your scientific programming in python (about which I know nothing) available by public license. Are you making the transposing software available also? |
| Sat Sep 19 11:35:37 2009 From: Art Wells | By chance do you or anyone you know have the chords to "Godsend" by Mason Williams (of Classical Gas fame)? I would be most appreciative of any help. Thanks, Art |
| Fri Sep 18 16:08:38 2009 From: Dave | Looks like this site has been going for a while and not sure why I haven't found it before. . .glad I finally did! Really nice work. I'm also interested in how you set up the function that changes the key. . .that is a really nice feature! Impressive! |
| Sun Sep 13 10:42:20 2009 From: Laura Tyler | This is great! I'm always looking for transcribed songs. Thanks for putting them up! |
| Sat Sep 12 21:20:51 2009 From: Max Karnage | Good Work! |
| Wed Sep 9 21:24:58 2009 From: Ron | Too Kool!!! I grew up(well aged) with these songs and going through them is a warm trip down memory lane. Many many thanks for sharing them with all of us. Ron |
| Wed Sep 9 01:08:23 2009 From: sally | Hey I've been looking for lyrics for many of these songs for a long time now.. to find them all on one site was truly fabulous ! Thanks so much.. you can be sure that our family singalong this Christmas will lift the roof ! Best wishes and many musical evenings to you.. Sally C (Terara.NSW. Australia) |

| Sun Sep 6 16:37:42 2009 From: Jim | I love this site. thank you for your many hours of work and love this represents! |
| Fri Sep 4 07:54:33 2009 From: Gregory [O'Keefe] Hoffman | THANKS! - stumbled upon your site looking for an old song...stayed on the site and read your blog, viewed your pics (stole 3 that were better than the ones I took in Ireland!) - you brought a great sense of love of family and life to me - that is something special in these times. Peace to you and your family. Sliante, Greg |
| Fri Aug 28 15:38:47 2009 From: debbie | love the comment from therese who's teaching music to senoirs, this is the music i grew up on ! Don't consider myself a senior, yet !! |
| Thu Aug 27 11:52:21 2009 From: SallyPrice gomez | I loved your site. Found old songs that I thought only people from the Pocono Mts. knew. (Logger Love, Cat Came Back). Also enjoyed the many folk songs. How about Rocky Top and Mountain Dew? Too country, maybe. How about Long Black Veil, so great by Joan Baez. I Walk the Line comes up in a lot of our sign-a-longs. Thanks so much! Me and my Martin Guitar are happy campers. |
| Tue Aug 25 12:41:17 2009 From: T.Turing | This is great for practicing! I found you last week. Really helps, great work. -TT |
| Mon Aug 24 22:06:05 2009 From: Therese | Thanks for this great resource... I'm teaching guitar to seniors and found this site very helpful! |
| Sun Aug 23 19:35:57 2009 From: Jennifer Schoeck | Hi, Great website!! What a walk down memory lane! Perhaps you can help me find a song: don't know the title or singer/writer!! So, it is hard to track down...heard it in the 60's: I can see the fellow singing, but can't remember who he was: "the more I travel, and the further I go, the more I learn, and the less I know...." Anyone know who that was, and the lyrics to the song? I loved it, at the time, and now, as the years have past, I'd love to be able to sing it! Thanks in advance. |
| Sun Aug 23 18:21:40 2009 From: dave | like your picks....thought maybe Helplessly Hoping would fit in nicely |
| Wed Aug 19 18:15:48 2009 From: Linda Burgess | Came upon your site looking for a Joan Baez song..thanks for all the love and hard work! |
| Wed Aug 19 17:07:50 2009 From: Davey | You have a great site here. I am in the process of rehearsing with a view to performing as a duo. Me on gtr and vocals and my friend on vocals and background vocals. Your "guitar songs" section has given me some ideas for songs to perform. Thankyou.....Davey and Angel. |
| Wed Aug 19 06:44:05 2009 From: Aaron King | I play the violin as well. Thanks for the invitation to play with the quartet. |
| Wed Aug 19 03:54:28 2009 From: Torvalds | Wow! What a collection. Great work ad thanks for sharing. |
| Mon Aug 17 11:09:05 2009 From: Jeff Holmes | Aaron, my son has an extensive collection of rare, out of print, unusual punk music but is not able to readily access the information. I was wondering if the python program you are using could be used for this purpose and if so is it available? |
| Sun Aug 16 15:54:24 2009 From: christopher allen | thank you !! this site is one of my favorites on the web . I wish there where more like it . Finding sites like this truly gets me excited about learning and playing music . |
| Sun Aug 16 12:01:04 2009 From: sue bennett | WOW! I just stumbled upon your website! How cool is this! Thank you (and your mom) for the hard work. I will enjoy referring to this all year as I compile songs to use in my 1st/2nd grade classroom. I am excited! |
| Fri Aug 14 21:55:08 2009 From: Thomas Duhon | Thanks for all your work on the songs. |

| Wed Aug 12 10:54:54 2009 From: DJANGO | Thanks for your time and effort. Great to be able to alter keys! Couldn't resist changing a few chords though!! |
| Mon Aug 10 10:27:47 2009 From: Lady Coon Hunter | This is GREAT!! I have been playing my guitar for 2 years now- I don't have any1 in my area to practice with, so it's hard finding something new to play- Thanks so much for your page- and website!! |
| Thu Aug 6 20:04:28 2009 From: Dave | awesome site love the songs. Its getting me back into playing my guitar thanks. |
| Wed Aug 5 09:22:31 2009 From: Neomi | Who is this Sarah Graham character that thinks you and I are related Parsons? I mean, I know I am passing on my culture, but I never though I'd get confused with a Jewish kid from Rangely, Colorado. Anyway, the site is great! |
| Tue Aug 4 19:46:01 2009 From: Janice Patrick | I lost my home in the San Diego fires Oct 07 and with it 40+ years of music I had collected (much of it hand copied). Many of my old favorites are on your list and this has inspired me to go buy another guitar and start anew... THANKS |
| Tue Aug 4 19:01:45 2009 From: Larry Chisholm | Thanks, I've been looking for these songs! A great list and well written with the guitar chords. I have been playing guitar for 42 years, and enjoy music. Know I can enjoy it even more. I've started last year teaching music & guitar, and know I can past on some great songs to my students. Thanks for sharing your list!! |
| Tue Aug 4 16:31:45 2009 From: Elliot | Most of these songs were written and already classic by the time i was born - but like many others, these are the songs I know and don't know why. engrained somewhere in the part of my brain that wants to ride the rails and the roads and revel in all the beautiful heritage of this country. Thank you for compiling this, I'll be coming back as frequently as i can learn songs! |
| Mon Aug 3 17:47:36 2009 From: Harry Kaylor | I LOVE what you have done to keep alive these great old songs we've sung for so many years. RE:Puff, the Magic Dragon: I have always used a minor chord (Em in key of C) on the word "dragon" ( and other places similar). Try it you'll like it |
| Sun Aug 2 11:03:25 2009 From: raff | great site glad to find simple chords for easy sing alongs. I am self taught chord player, this is a gold mine for me! |
| Thu Jul 30 14:39:40 2009 From: Eddie McGinley | Just found your site and it's great to get chords and words. I'm a singer/guitarist and like yourself have been singing and collecting songs for over 40years, but don't have a site. Keep up the good work, best regards, Eddie |
| Thu Jul 30 13:36:18 2009 From: Tom Barker | As an aging folk music guitarist (non-professional), I was amazed to see many of the songs I know and love. My children and now grandchildren still like to hear me play. I printed out several songs for which I didn't have the cords. Thanks. |
| Thu Jul 30 08:37:47 2009 From: rosie | exactly what i was looking for! |
| Wed Jul 29 21:41:19 2009 From: Billy Berson | So...I'm up late tonight perusing the setiathome world and stumbled onto your very fine site. It gave me the unparalleled opportunity to point out to my teenaged daughter Eve, that although the songwriting thing had to eventually yield to a career in physics, my first efforts in 1964 get more hits today than Michael Row Your Boat Ashore. (at least on your site). Thanks, and regards to your mom, who I now see is a grandmother. You might mention that her eyes haven't changed a bit. wb |
| Sun Jul 26 01:42:21 2009 From: Tom | Just started Ukulele and your site has been a great help, thank you! Have you ever done "The Big Rock Candy Mountain"? |

| Thu Jul 16 22:31:40 2009 From: Lukasz | I would give you two cents but can't spare any money, j/k. Good job on the site. |
| Thu Jul 16 13:06:23 2009 From: Lisa | I just started playing guitar, and your website is making it so much fun. There are a lot of songs that are still too hard for me, but you also have some really simple ones that make me feel like I'm actually playing something and not just fooling around. Anyway, it's very nice of you to put these songs us and allow other people to enjoy the fruits of your labor! Thanks! |
| Tue Jul 14 18:46:58 2009 From: Allen Anders | What a wonderful site you have. We camp with about 10 families for our annual family reunion every year and I just made a book of some of your songs. Was wondering if you new a site like this with old church hymns. Thank You |

| Wed Jul 8 20:34:13 2009 From: Lyn | Saludos desde Vermont. I've worked in Colombia, Honduras and Ecuador. I'm a 70-something trying to learn the guitar. Thanks so much for making the music and chords available. I love all your science. |

| Thu Jul 2 08:16:35 2009 From: Dave | LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the "transpose" button - a brilliant addition to the website - and the quickest shortcut I've ever seen. Well done - you saved my camping trip! |
| Wed Jul 1 21:59:48 2009 From: Marty | GREAT SITE!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all the work you've done. |
| Wed Jul 1 17:53:33 2009 From: Tammy | Hello, Thank You so much for compiling a bunch of songs, I love them! I've been trying to find chords for Absolutely Story of A Girl, but since it was only a one-hit wonder I haven't had any luck. Do you have any pointers for trying to figure out the chords for songs? Once again, Thanks! Tammy |
| Tue Jun 30 19:19:34 2009 From: Wendy | Hi there! Thanks for all the great transcriptions. I have a tip, and a request, if you get to it... Margaritaville sounds good if you add a G7 to some of the G chords that are a turning point of the song. Gives it a nice melancholy dimension.... If you can ever get to it, would you try transcribing Warren Zevon's wonderful "Heartache Spoken Here." Thanks again. :) |
| Tue Jun 30 13:46:04 2009 From: Denise | I just started re-teaching myself guitar. LOL!!!! I just happened upon your website and thought I had died and gone to heaven. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Keep up the wonderful work and keep adding on. Maybe some Leonard Cohen??? |
| Tue Jun 30 11:12:12 2009 From: Charlie | Just stumbled across your site. FANTASTIC! What a great compilation of songs. Thanks so much for doing this. |
| Mon Jun 29 15:04:15 2009 From: paul | Just got a 12-string and was hunting for some new ez to play tunes. These will keep my fledgling group busy for some time. Thanks. |

| Mon Jun 22 20:29:26 2009 From: john | I play the tenor uke and love your site. Have for several years. I have spent many evenings singing right from it. I have been on a quest maybe you could help with. I am looking for the chords for Green Hill Mountain Home by Jesse Colin Young. Thanks again for your efforts! |
| Mon Jun 22 07:46:28 2009 From: Eric | I feel it is not right to continue to use your website without telling you how much of an amazing resource it is occasionally there are one or two songs that are a little off but I love your website and would like to thank you greatly for such a great public service. Sometimes I just feel like playing something and I don't know what and I always end up visiting your site, I first found it trying to find "Golden Vanity" for my father because he had heard it years ago and wanted me to play it and you are I believe one out of 2 people on the web who has it posted, sorry to be long winded lol but thanks once more keep up your amazing work. All the best, Eric |

| Thu Jun 11 17:56:06 2009 From: Bob Staneslow | What a great site and accomplishment! I have been playing guitar and singing folk songs for more than fifty years. Many of the songs in your list I have pains-takingly transcribed on my own. It's wonderful to find a site where someone (and Mom) has had the time and energy for this task. More power to you! Bob Staneslow |
| Wed Jun 10 07:40:11 2009 From: warren batch | fffffffffffffffffffff |
| Wed Jun 10 04:25:41 2009 From: Sam Southworth | Great work here! You might wish to track down the precise author's name just to give them the proper props (said as a songwriter myself). I was a camper and then Trip Leader at a summer camp in Freedom, NH, and I played many of these for 25 years--good, solid stuff! Thanks for the great resource for all us "strummers and hummers." |
| Mon Jun 8 15:06:30 2009 From: Ziggy | What a wonderful site! I'm putting together a little song book to take on a long road trip with some high school girlfriends (Class of '74!). We will have a blast. Thanks! |
| Wed Jun 3 10:46:12 2009 From: Debo Longe | Very well thought out. Great for beginners & veterans as well. Well done. You have done a great service to music & music lovers |
| Wed Jun 3 08:25:44 2009 From: Dermot | Thank you very much and also thanks to your Mum. Some of these songs are from my childhood and early adult years. I find I get on with the chords on Box of Rain very well! Did you really mean Capo 9 for The Weight. I have tried around 5 or 6. Thanks again. Dermot |
| Mon Jun 1 17:44:18 2009 From: Will S. | Dude what a great site!! Been playin for many years and really like the auto transcription !! |
| Sun May 31 08:45:57 2009 From: DJ | this is a great thing you have put together...thanks. I can't wait to surprise my mom with a few of her favorites next time I see her. |
| Sat May 30 02:29:28 2009 From: Gerben | Great site, thanks!! I use it a lot as an easy acces to chords and txt. I like the popularity poll on songs(and sad to see 'man of constant sorrow' that low; old stuff don't sell or so). You might reconsider the txt on 'this land is your land', after Obama's inaugoration and the Seeger/Springsteen performance. Have fun and take care, Gerben |
| Thu May 28 00:58:38 2009 From: MUGU | NICE SITE |
| Wed May 27 11:40:52 2009 From: Delores Williams | I was working on putting together a 'folk song ' collection mostly out of my own collection and doing some research on dates, artists, etc. when I stumbled into your GREAT collection. It is a great help even though some of the chords are not the same as the ones I play. But then it tends to differ in different parts of the country. I am in the Ozarks (MO) and have been playing and singing for about 65 years. I didn't start until I was 5. I will be singing folk songs at the Onondaga Cave State Park "Renewable Energy & Sustainable Living Fair in June and want to tell some of the wonderful stories behind some of the songs. You are 'Bookmarked" Thank you. |
| Mon May 25 06:08:49 2009 From: Arnie | Your song page is wonderful - especially the transpose feature. A great collection of songs also. Please continue to add to it. Your selection is wonderful. Thanks for providing it. |
| Sat May 23 21:35:47 2009 From: Linda Murray | I love your site and your generousity to share lyrics and cords with us. I'm new on the guitar and am looking for the lyrics and cords to "She'll be Comin' Around the Mountain." I have not been able to find them. Do you have them or have any idea where I might find them? Thanks so much and I'll keep your side in mind and recommend it to others. |
| Thu May 21 01:41:52 2009 From: Michelle | What a fantastic site! I grew up with a singing/music playing family that spent a lot of time in jam sessions with each of us on a different instrument or just sitting & croonin' round the campfire. It warms my heart to see all these old songs again. I'm happy to say that we are resurrecting our old pasttime and will be sharing the fun with OUR kids this Memorial Day. I especially love that everything can be transposed. Thanks for a wonderful gift to us! I'll be checking back for more. |
| Wed May 20 16:47:47 2009 From: Steve | Thanks. "Red Rubber Ball" by the way, is by Paul Simon. |

| Tue May 19 16:22:23 2009 From: Katie | Thank you so much. Great. Have been searching online and elsewhere for more acurate tabs for Sweet Sir Galahad by Jon Baez which I just love. Could't believe how many sites have it wrong. Going to sing it at my Woodstock style birthday party! But couldnt till I found better tabs, so thank you. Its lovely that you've taken the time to do this. Our kids are mostly young grown ups now and they're loving all the music we loved. Well done! |
| Tue May 19 14:23:37 2009 From: Doug | Very nice site. I was looking around online for lyrics and chords for songs to play for my kids (all 4 of them) and came across your site. Thanks for taking the time to do this and providing a resource for others. |
| Mon May 18 14:15:43 2009 From: steve and hanna | Your website with lyrics and chords is fabulous! It's perfect for our skill level on the guitar and we were wondering if you have any other websites with more lyrics and chords? Do you know of anything similar to what you've done because we enjoyed your site so much? Thanks very much! |
| Mon May 18 07:27:41 2009 From: Rob | I am a guitarist in a US Army Band deployed to Iraq, and was looking for some quick chords to a few old popular folk acoustic tunes. Thanks for the one stop source! The Aussie Army will love when I lay Waltzing Matilda for 'em!!! |
| Fri May 15 07:46:49 2009 From: vivek | i m very awaitful |
| Wed May 13 13:40:19 2009 From: Stephen Ardern | Just discovered your site while looking the chords to "Four Strong Winds". This is a great collecton of songs and I can't wait to play them.I play a tenor ukulele and your arrangements work really well ! Keep it up...... Thanks |
| Wed May 13 12:45:07 2009 From: Stuart Meesenburg | I love your collection of songs. Seriously reflects my own interests. If you ever should wander through North Platte NE please look me up. Just spent the last two hours going over the songs you and your mom have compiled. Playing along withyour chord layouts. Should have been cleaning the bathroom and other household chres instead. Thanx for brightening up my day.. |
| Wed May 13 12:03:35 2009 From: hettie | I am always looking for songs for my boyfriend that plays the guitar. |
| Tue May 12 23:37:35 2009 From: Benjamin | Love the old songs |
| Thu May 7 03:30:04 2009 From: http://www.badeconomyjobs.com | Thanks for the providing the guitar chords. I've been meaning to pick back up the guitar again. |
| Wed May 6 13:37:10 2009 From: skip | thank you! |
| Tue May 5 20:15:20 2009 From: Ephraim | I came across your site while looking up songs to play as a volunteer at a nursing home outside of Chicago. Finding the site was a fine ending to a trying day. Your sharing makes me want to share; as my father once taught me, some favors can't be repaid directly, but you do so by doing the same in turn for someone else. Additionally, I'll be using your site to help entertain some people who are often forgotten. That seems fitting in regards to the "mom" you related. Be Well or better yet, be however you want to be! |
| Sun May 3 21:32:02 2009 From: Nicole | Thanks so much for making this music available for all. We found just what we needed to teach "This land is your land" to a group of children. It's so fun to pass on these great songs. |
| Sun May 3 17:36:47 2009 From: Bob Stewart | 'Blowing in the Wind' has a minor chord in last verse. I play it in D, you can transpose it. (G) And I wonder(A7)still I wonder (Bm) who'll stop the (D) rain? I think in key of G it is Em. Adds that 'little extra'. Bob |
| Fri May 1 15:27:05 2009 From: Mike | Astrophysics is way cool! |
| Thu Apr 30 16:42:56 2009 From: Zac | Love your guitar page. All of my dad's favorite songs. Just recently started playing them again. Now it's gone!!! Yeah I found the links, but I loved the auto transposer. It would be great if you could get it back. I'm missing Hurry Sundown by PPM. Thanks!!! |
| Thu Apr 30 14:12:47 2009 From: Jim | A friend turned me on to your very cool guitar page. Imagine my surprise when, after I bookmarked it, guitar1.html turned up a not found error. I was glad to find it and use it as a resource for my school guitar class but, alas, it has disappeared. |
| Sun Apr 26 18:06:39 2009 From: Keith | Thank you for this valuable service !!! |
| Sun Apr 26 08:44:42 2009 From: Doug | Great site. Love the transposition feature. Let's me find the key easiest for me to play and sing. FYI: Believe Bobby Mcgee was written by Kris Kristofferson (there was a skit on the old SNL with Gilda Radner as Bobby McGee reuniting with Kristofferson) if you are just attributing these to the person who made it popular...never mind |
| Sat Apr 25 15:49:28 2009 From: Bobby | Cool! Thank you, Bobby |
| Sat Apr 25 03:47:50 2009 From: Roger Edwards | Love this little site. There's more thought gone into this than you first give credit for. Now I can play Puff The Magic Dragon with the gusto it deserves. Keep on rockin - Be Bop A Lu La ... Roger Edwards |
| Thu Apr 23 13:06:51 2009 From: John Madrid | This is a great "easy to play" collection! I am trying to print up the first song and the 2nd page gets cut off! Can you format it so that the song (and all the others) can be printed without cutting off the last 4 words? Thanks in advance, John |
| Wed Apr 22 14:32:09 2009 From: Lynn Keyes | WOW!! This is fantastic. I I have been storing my music all on separate files. I have some songs that you are missing. Would you like me to forward them to you? Also, I learned a song years ago in 5th grade and I would love to find it if anyone has it. I only remember a few words but if you know it you will recognize it with so few words: "They ran through the trees and they ran through the bushes...........On the gulf of Mexico." |
| Thu Apr 16 11:04:18 2009 From: Aaron Parsons | Hmm.. looks like one of my databases got corrupted. I think it's fixed now. And to Mike Manning: are you looking at the same songs I am? I'm not sure what you mean by "just so incredibly wrong", but if you mean "simplified while maintaining the core harmonic structure", then maybe you could be right. Otherwise, I just don't understand where you're coming from at all. |
| Wed Apr 15 09:49:57 2009 From: Gerry McColl | I keep getting an error mesage when I try to open any of your songs. Any ideas? |
| Sun Apr 12 20:21:15 2009 From: Mpeteron | Yo ho! Thank you so kindly for this site -- and for your work on setiathome (I was a member for years -- until our campus started to wonder about running our office machines all night ;^)). And for disclosure, I'm playing these on the ukulele. hiho Mark |
| Tue Apr 7 20:53:18 2009 From: Henry L. Dolive | Thank you so much for putting up this web site. I am a beginning guitar student; my teacher told me about this site, and I believe it will be enormously helpful and that I will find a wealth of enjoyment here as I get a little better at playing. Some of the songs are familiar, but a lot aren't, and I'll be learning them, hopefully. Thank you again,and good luck in your work. |
| Tue Apr 7 08:07:51 2009 From: Mark Lyon | Great websight! I like it for my own personal use, but I also pass it along to my guitar students so that they can experience a wide variety of songs to work on. I teach a lot of beginners, but it is hard to drag out what songs they are familiar with. This way they can view the websight with their parents and find some good songs to pass on. Thanks, Mark Lyon Oklahoma City |
| Sun Apr 5 16:08:19 2009 From: Joe | Great list of songs for my next get together. For whatever reason when I click the links I get a bizarre error page. Hope all is well and thanks for this hunble public service to us guitarist out there. |
| Sat Apr 4 06:04:51 2009 From: Tod | Great compilation of songs, Thanks for the effort to share all this info! |
| Thu Apr 2 13:55:15 2009 From: Matt | What a fantastic collection! I just had a son, and was looking around the web for some good children's songs, when I found this site. It's basically an encyclopedia of the songs I grew up on! Thank you so much for putting them all in one place. |
| Wed Apr 1 20:27:06 2009 From: Mary | Hey -- This looks like an incredible site and i want to play all these songs for my 3 month old sun. My mom taught me how to play guitar with these songs and someday I will teach my son too. But the site seems to be experiencing some errors...I can't seem to access the links to the songs. Anyway you could help me out? |
| Tue Mar 31 19:05:08 2009 From: Billy | ...Holy Cow! An absolutely amazing find for guitar lovers!! Thank you so much for your hard work. |
| Mon Mar 30 09:57:19 2009 From: Sue | Hey, this is great! I have a request... "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (Queen) |
| Sun Mar 29 12:26:08 2009 From: Dan Bischoff | What a great site! I love that you have so many great songs and that I can choose a key that's perfect for my voice. Thanks!!! |
| Sat Mar 28 23:00:58 2009 From: Jason | Hey, sweet site. I'm pretty new to guitar and know a few chords. I really like practicing with Johnny Cash - Boy Named Sue, cause it's jsut G C D G and repeats, but I'm pretty bored with an up and down strumming pattern. Any idea how to make it sound similar to the song? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks! |
| Sat Mar 28 12:29:40 2009 From: Dean Overcash | Really enjoy your website,Thank You so much for sharing the family sing-a-long album. I can't understand why Mike Manning is so harsh. No beginner should not be playing Bridge Over Troubled Water anyway. I really love any Doc Watson tune,Jerry Garcia and David Grisman. Do you think these artist might be listed in the future? THANKS again for sharing the love. |
| Mon Mar 23 17:36:15 2009 From: Mike Skaff | Mr. Manning - despite the apparent abundance of errors, this is the best "just for fun" chord site out there. Aaron - THANK YOU! |
| Sun Mar 22 17:35:28 2009 From: Mike Manning | Hi, I ran across your guitar/folk song page and peeked in on a few of the tunes (I've been playing 40 years or so) and I can't understand how or why some of these songs are posted that are just so incredibly wrong! case in point: "bridge over troubled water" it's not even close to being the right chords (regardless of the key) however I do respect your admiration of music and effort but in my view and opinion it can really throw off a beginner. respectfully, Mike Manning. |
| Sat Mar 21 10:09:01 2009 From: keith | just found your site,it's great thanks. I really like the easy transpose of songs feature. All in all i'm very impressed |
| Wed Mar 18 23:11:07 2009 From: Marc Owen Turley | Thanks so very much. I'm just now picking up the guitar at 38 years old. You are helping me live the life I've always wanted! A thousand thanks to you and your family. |
| Sat Mar 14 08:15:12 2009 From: Fergy | Your mom must really be something, that is quite a marvelous list. I think I've done good to keep a dozen songs ready to play. I'm 70 now, started strumming in 63' and love the songs of my day. You have done a great service to folks like me. Fell off a porch halloween and broke my neck. Lost feelings in hands & fingers but still trying to play .. again, many thanks.. |
| Fri Mar 13 13:27:31 2009 From: Dave | Thanks for a great song resource - there are so many of my favourites here |

| Mon Feb 23 04:41:33 2009 From: Sasha | Thank you so much for what you've done! I've sung many of these songs to my children - and now that I am a granny I am grateful to find the guitar chords to those I 'took for granted' and never copied into my song book. |
| Sun Feb 22 09:30:41 2009 From: John G. | Man THANK YOU!!! Thought my music playing days were over.Traded in my drum sticks for a mandolin some time ago, but have music in my blood. Now just in my basement but am looking forward to finding some people like me (musically) to jamb and get the nerve to go public.Thanks Again. |
| Sat Feb 21 22:46:37 2009 From: Jeremy | Love the site. Interestingly enough, I've had it bookmarked for a couple of years and just noticed that the root is SETI@Home. I actually used to work for Dan Werthimer when I was an undergrad at Cal and helped build a photon coincidence detector for the optical SETI program. It was used at Leuschner observatory. Coincidence indeed. |
| Sat Feb 21 17:37:37 2009 From: Peggy S | Good job. Thank you for all of your time and effort |
| Sat Feb 21 13:48:37 2009 From: Jen | I LOVE your site. Keep adding more songs! |

| Sat Feb 14 15:30:51 2009 From: Cielia | Thanks so much for a great collection. Already sang a few to my husband - who has patient ears. Thanks again! |
| Sat Feb 14 14:48:03 2009 From: SwampRocker | Can't thank you enough. I started playing late in life, and I have been blessed with a great teacher. I'm learning to finger pick and I love ballads and folk songs. This is a great resource. |
| Sat Feb 14 07:56:48 2009 From: Shirley A Campbell | I have to tell you that when I came across your site I was so excited because these were all the songs I sang for years. I lost so many songs over the years but now they're back and I'm delighted. I picked up my guitar and it was like magic. Thanks so much. Shirley Campbell |
| Thu Feb 12 09:09:45 2009 From: Heather H | I am like your mother - have been collecting songs since the 1960s,since I was a teen, thanks for a great site. It's great to have the songs and chords all in one place. Carry on the good work! Best wishes from UK. |
| Wed Feb 11 11:22:29 2009 From: Mike Skaff | OUTSTANDING!! All the sing-a-long favorites in one place. Thank you very much. |
| Mon Feb 9 22:41:04 2009 From: Eric Anderson | Thanks came looking for Pete Seeger songs for the up and coming "For Pete's Sake Sing" and found a whole lot more thanks again...... I have a version of shady grove I'll look it up and try and get back again |
| Sun Feb 8 20:24:08 2009 From: Jerry Hughson | I had the pleasure of attending an original Kingston Trio concert in the late 50's at the Univ. Of Fla. I remember a song called "Shady Grove". I's love to know the lyric to the song if you can find it Thanks |
| Sun Feb 8 18:25:16 2009 From: Moe | When the Weavers played "Kisses Sweeter than Wine", the last chord of the chorus (if played in C) was A7 --- not Am. This gives it a lot of punch! Pete Seeger said they adapted the tune from Leadbelly's version of some Irish song, but I don't remember which one. Great site! |
| Sun Feb 8 11:07:27 2009 From: Deb | Hi! 'Just stumbled across your site as I was looking for lyrics & chords to standards. GREAT! I LOVE IT! AND MANY THANK-YOUs! |

| Thu Jan 22 09:17:31 2009 From: Francesca | I am very impressed with your website. I have been working on organizing a regular group sing, and this website is an incredible resource of excellent songs, but you don't have one of my favorites. I'd really appreciate it if you would add the Pete Seeger song Well May the World Go to your website. |
| Thu Jan 22 05:40:10 2009 From: Murray Cleland | Hello Aaron, Sarah, your new little one and your mom. It's amazing how across the years, and across the miles, never having met, I feel a deep affinity for you all. Partly it comes from visiting your website and in large part it comes from your wonderful listing of your mother's songs. I'm sure that by our song choices, we convey something important about ourselves, our history and our values. Many of the songs that you and your mother shared, are important delineations of my life also. Congratulations on election of a new, positive, insightful president... one who transcends race, petty bickering, and even nationalism. I wish him, and all of you, an abundant share of everything that is loving and positive in this world! Thanks. ... Murray |
| Wed Jan 21 07:52:58 2009 From: Paul Vlaanderen | Hi AARON, Looking for the chords of Sloop JohnB I visited your homepage.

Will learn it to celebrate 1-20-09. Thanks. ck |
| Mon Jan 19 13:46:30 2009 From: Ana Maria | I was wondering if you could get the song "My Sweet Song" by Toby Lightman. It'd be very appreciated. Greetings from Puerto Rico!! |

| Fri Jan 9 06:20:12 2009 From: Chuck | Hi, my 13 year old grandson and his dad play guitar together and so far my contribution to the fun has been to sit with the 2 girls and sing-a-long. That's great fun but I've always wanted to learn gutar and in the past few weeks I've been working hard at learning. Later we'll get the girls playing something too. Thanks for all these songs. Love em. |

| Mon Jan 5 11:15:04 2009 From: Diane Watson | I use to sing with a group in High School. One of the songs we did was Three Jolly Coachmen. I can't remember all the lyrics. |
| Sun Jan 4 17:08:39 2009 From: Rex Club Dan | I don't remember exactly how I got to your site, but I'm sure glad I did. I very much enjoyed looking over the collection, and finding the chords and lyrics to a lotta cool songs. Thanks |
| Thu Jan 1 15:50:47 2009 From: Mike O'Leary | great site.... I came across it looking for older songs to sing my grandaughter. Brought back a few memories also. I grew up in the folk generation but put my guitar down 10 years ago and never picked it up until a few nights ago. Thanks |
| Thu Jan 1 10:05:52 2009 From: Frank Jakob | Great site. A guitar. An internet connection. A fireplace fire DVD. And a camping we will go! 21st Century style! PS. The key changes are great |
| Wed Dec 31 21:52:41 2008 From: David | I stumbled upon your site. Found it very useful. Infact I am saving most of the song to my folder for later use. I grew up listen to the folk generation and am familiar with some of the songs. Now it is time for me to learn to play them. Thanks for the hard you you put in. David |
| Wed Dec 31 21:51:48 2008 From: Eric | Hello, I am looking for the lyrics and guitar chords for My Home By The Fraser sung by Keray Regan. Do you know where I can get it? Thanks for your help. |
| Wed Dec 31 20:14:55 2008 From: Jammie Campbell | What an utter delight to find your site. I haven't played much in too many years. I will be teaching my grandson how to play guitar this year and many of your songs are the songs I grew up with and played way back when. I have a new set of strings and now many of the old songs to practice with. Many, many thanks for all your hard work and sharing your songs. |
| Tue Dec 30 15:36:33 2008 From: Cynthia Allaire | Thanks very much for putting up all these terrific songs with their chords, and thanks to your mother to for her sharing enthusiasm for sing along music with you. I was trying to get together songs for a New Year's Eve sing along, and you made my task so much easier with so many songs I've loved for years. Happy New Year to your family. |
| Mon Dec 29 06:31:26 2008 From: Paul Heinzman | Very nice site. I am going to try to play Mr. Jones by the Counting Crows. I have been playing guitar for a while but must of my playing has been in the Jazz World maybe I can jazz up a few old folk tunes for fun. I would love to hear about your Mother and her music and how it formed in you a music heritage. I do love stories about music being passed down from generation to generation. Thanks |
| Sun Dec 28 22:16:30 2008 From: Todd | I've played guitar for years, but have just now got around to tracking down chords for all the songs I half-know or have always wanted to learn. Thanks for posting all of this -- it's been a great help. One thing: Years ago I learned The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald with the first chord as Aadd9, not the Asus2 that you have here. Perhaps you are working from a different version. |
| Sun Dec 28 17:24:59 2008 From: Joel | I just started playing the guitar (i am 48) and these are the songs I have always wanted to sit on the back porch and play. You have made this so much more fun because I dont have to spend the next four years finding these songs I get started right in on "butchering" them. Thanks to you and your mom |
| Sun Dec 28 11:56:36 2008 From: Derek | Thanks! Here I am stumbling through the web and I am gracefully swept back to the summers at camp where I learned to play guitar - when I forged a lifelong friendship with folk music. Think I'll go play for awhile. |
| Sat Dec 27 03:44:18 2008 From: Ray Eberhardt | Hi. I loved your site. I am a folk, country, rock, Christian guitarist/singer and have been looking for a comprehensive "sing-along" site for a long time. Keep up the good work. |
| Fri Dec 26 19:50:06 2008 From: David | Wonderful tunes! My Mom and I have sung a lot of these too...just popped in to get some ideas for a birthday party I'm playing at (sing-a-long style) and what a terrific resource I found! Thank you for taking the time to put this together! |
| Fri Dec 26 12:41:25 2008 From: Tom Roach | For my taste this is the best site I have ever found. Great selection of songs, good simple notation. Well done. I have been collecting songs for years, and I found at least two dozen on your site that I didn't have, or you had an easier to read version. Thank you! |
| Fri Dec 26 08:05:19 2008 From: Karen | Your site whisked me back to my teen years singing with my guitar. I recently joined a gathering of musicians to share what we know (knew), and was pleased to find so many of the ones I always enjoyed singing back then. I may be 52, but singing these songs again makes me feel youthful! Thanks! Karen |
| Mon Dec 15 16:08:14 2008 From: Jim Vernon | Just an FYI ... 'The Marvelous Toy' is a Tom Paxton song c 1961 I like this site and I appreciate the effort you have put into it... I started visiting a couple months ago to pick up music and lyrics for practice and performance after a 30 year hiatus... Thanks!!!! jbv |
| Mon Dec 15 00:57:38 2008 From: Paul | THANKS, Great tunes, I've got a bunch loaded up on my cpmputer that I can send backto you. Lots of similar era songs. Lightfoot Ochs, folk mostly. Used tp play coffee houses in the late 60's. Still jam with some bluegrass folk but my heart belongs to the folk music of the mid to late 60's. Not sure where you're from but if you're ever in Oregon on the north coast give a shout and bring your guitar |
| Sat Dec 13 06:18:18 2008 From: Matilda Wynnes | What a lovely site. My husband spent many years as a professional photographer capturing some lovely pictures across Africa. Your online magazine brings back a lot of happy memories. Thank you. |
| Thu Dec 11 17:11:22 2008 From: Candace Bradford | Wow!!! Thanks to you and your mom!!! I am 58 yrs old and just retired. Thinking what am i going to do with myself, hummmm I may get me a guitar and play folk music to entertain myself. Lets see what and I can find on the web...you and your mom are a life saver! I haven't played since i was a teen ager, and here I go again. Thank you so much for all your hard work in putting this together for us old hippies. Candee |
| Thu Dec 11 15:20:07 2008 From: Bill MacKay | Thanks for providing folks with the music. I'm a middle-aged guy who, instead of wild women and fast cars, chose the guitar as a middle-age crisis solution. These songs remind me of my childhood, and singing 'round the fire. Its fun to play them! Again, thanks. |
| Wed Dec 10 15:12:35 2008 From: Richelle Brotherson (Byers) | Hey Aaron! so i'm not sure if you'd even remember me but, you wrestled for my dad ((Bret Byers)) when you were in high school. I was probably 7 or 8. Well in June we're throwing my dad a birthday party and i'm getting all of his wrestlers together. I've found almost everyone--but i didnt know how to get a hold of you since you're in Puerto Rico ((that place is amazing, i went there for a week)). I was just wondering if i could get your address so i could send ya and invite. if you want to email me some info on how to send it to ya that'd be great. i think i've got mostly everyone but try and name off some of the guys you wrestled with just so i dont miss anyone! thanks a ton! |
| Wed Dec 10 13:23:33 2008 From: Don Naylor | great songs, great idea,Thank you so much for putting these songs on paper so that a nonpicker like me can understand them |
| Sun Dec 7 03:53:16 2008 From: George Irvine | Hi, its a great site and being able to transpose on site is great for me. Keep up the good work George |
| Sat Dec 6 19:23:40 2008 From: Ann | Thank you for the MUSIC it means so much to me to have all these treasures in one place. They bring back so many memories and good feelings. You Are Blessed for paying it forward and you must be a special human being. Again Thank You For Sharing Ann |
| Wed Dec 3 10:00:41 2008 From: James Harland | Great work. Great website. I love pigeons and quilts so this site means a lot to me. It took 40 minutes to vaporize the machine again. Keep up the good work x |
| Tue Dec 2 10:46:43 2008 From: auntie Om | Tiny Typo in Rock my soul in the bosom of abraham that interferes with your (fantastic!) transposing feature. Love your site. Really Great!!!!! |
| Mon Dec 1 15:56:34 2008 From: Al Freeman | Was here some time ago and found some chord music. Trying to find it again. |
| Fri Nov 28 19:24:29 2008 From: gerry | 2 |
| Wed Nov 26 18:44:24 2008 From: Tim Thomas | I meant to say thanks to you and your MOM! and anyone else who inspires you to post these songs! |
| Wed Nov 26 18:43:09 2008 From: Tim Thomas | Let me add my thanks to you and your putting together the songs. I'm a beginner with at least 30 years experience. Your collection makes it easy because the songs are singable, even in my obscure key and the chords manageable. Congrats on new addition. |
| Thu Nov 20 16:34:49 2008 From: Drew | Your site is great! |
| Wed Nov 19 09:58:12 2008 From: Nancy | Love your site, do you have simple guitar chords for Maggie (my 7 year old) to play "on the road again" ? She is a beginner, but practices a lot and can play several simple songs. She wants to play "on the road again" for her school talent show in June. Any help would be great! Thanks for sharing. Nancy |
| Tue Nov 18 19:41:05 2008 From: Gene Christensen | Wonderful website Aaron. So many of those songs take me back years..and great to play. Thanks! It seems your occupation is astronomer. Ok..I have to ask you. Is it a fulfilling job...and why no trace of life out there yet? Be well, Gene |
| Tue Nov 18 08:13:15 2008 From: charlotte m | Awesome job on this website. Amazing that someone else knows so many of those old great tunes. Can you include MacArthur's Park? And does anyone know the song 'Livin' in the Love of the Common People'? Thanks |
| Mon Nov 17 20:11:48 2008 From: Hcterts | You have a very fine website. Can you find more music by the kingston trio? 'Three jolly coachmen' is a favorite. My group of Senior citizens would enjoy singing folk songs but they need them in Karaoke, with a demo singer. So do I for that matter. We have a singalong every Monday evening at a Retirement Hotel. For the life of me I can't find any folk songs done in Karaoke format. Would you have any ideas? Thanks! Hct |
| Mon Nov 17 19:49:31 2008 From: Lee in Sunny Florida USA | Great collection in an easy to use format. Thanks for your efforts. It is scary how many of these songs I know |
| Mon Nov 17 14:06:48 2008 From: Atlanshia Flores | Nice songs. |
| Sun Nov 16 18:23:06 2008 From: Karl Greenblatt | Hey- can you post Fire and Rain ? by James Taylor |
| Thu Nov 13 16:12:51 2008 From: Wendy Metcalfe | All my favorite songs.... what a treat! I am in search of a really beginning guitar book for my 11 year old, that also displays the fingering of the cords, to get her started. She really wants to learn... and has already learned several cords. But I would love great songs like these, for beginners ..... that she has grown up on- and enjoys as well. If you have any suggestions..... I am all ears. Thanks!!!! |
| Thu Nov 13 09:56:37 2008 From: Karl Greenblatt | Someday Soon - Made famous by Judy Collins I nerver heard of the other fellow even if he was the composer and doubt that many other would know his name. |
| Thu Nov 13 09:53:28 2008 From: Karl Greenblatt | If I Had my way- was written by Rev Gary Davis |
| Wed Nov 12 15:16:09 2008 From: Karl Greenblatt | Hey! Thanks a lot for the site its the best I have found ! Just for accuracy you might want to give additional proper credit to the following. Good Night Irene-Leadblly Man Of Constant Sorrow- Traditional Turn,Turn Turn-Pete Seeger I know I am correct as I have been into folk music over 50 years.(besides Woody Guthrie was my uncle) Thanks again, Karl |
| Tue Nov 11 15:15:29 2008 From: Alexander Soifer | Aaron, On Springer request, I am doubling the volume of my Colorado Math Olympiad book. Now it will cover 20 years. I would like to also include a section on 1st prize winners, who write to me what the Olympiad did for them, and their careers ever since. Drop me a note about yourself, you young astronomer! Best wishes to your wonderful young 3-family! |
| Tue Nov 11 11:08:51 2008 From: mike martin | Glad I found it! |
| Sun Nov 9 22:21:55 2008 From: Boris | Great collection of songs! Good Job! There was a song with words: "Morgen.... Morgen..." and I believe the hook and the title were the same. Morgen means tomorrow in GermanWanda Jackson did a European release with these two words but I don't know if the song is the same. It was a nice song. Hope this helps Hershel Lewos (his quote below). Mon Oct 13 15:51:18 2008 From: Hershel Lewos sometime in the 1960's there was a song sung by which i think, was a female German singer with the word, "morgan" in the lyrics. Does anyone remember the name of the song or/and the song title or perhaps the name of the singer? |
| Sun Nov 9 17:56:38 2008 From: Tim Guilfoile | I have looked all over creation for the music for Hurry Sundown by PP&M and felt so blessed when I stubled across your site. This site is now among my very favorites! |
| Sat Nov 8 13:29:28 2008 From: larry paulsen | I recently started to work with my acoustic guitar again after a hiatus of 26 years. I went deaf in 1981. I played the guitar, banjo, mandolin, acoustic bass, and piano. So it was quite a blow. I received a cochlear implant in 1982 but the amount of hearing I got back was insufficient to let me recognize music as anything but noise. Now, with my latest upgrade, music is starting make more sense. It has been a long dry spell. Finding your website was a breath of fresh air because I have forgotten a lot of the lyrics of the folk music I used to play and I need some help. Your site is providing that. It is wonderful. You certainly have my permission to post this as it may come to the attention of any other people with hearing problems who enjoy music. Also, I'd like your personal input, if you have a chance to drop me an e-mail and let me know if you know of any people with problems similar to mine. Also, if you do post it, it is OK with me if others reply. Thanks Larry Paulsen |
| Tue Nov 4 09:16:47 2008 From: E Van Johnson | Many thanks for a great and helpful sight. I asng around the folk scene in London in the late 1950's till 1970. Aftetr that life took over, I am now retired and starting to sing around the pubs and clubs again. It is a great source for jogging the memory and reminding me of all the great times i had. I still have aload of old material from those early days so if you need info , drop me aline I may be able to help as I am still in touch with some of the old folkies who many people wont have even heard of. Regards, Van |
| Mon Nov 3 14:17:54 2008 From: Al | What a wonderful collection of songs. Thank you for sharing. Best Regards; Al |
| Thu Oct 30 19:23:31 2008 From: william lindley | Hey Hey! I've enjoyed strumming through your collection~ On The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - i think the lyric is "Stoneman's calvary" instead of "Stonewall's calvary". Stonewall was a CSA officer and Stoneman a US. I used to have this switched too -as Stonewall Jackson is a more popular figure. As the song, though is about the tragedy/misery of confederate southerners at the end of the war, Stoneman is a better fit. Stoneman conducted pretty nasty raids in my home area - piedmont north carolina, east tennessee and southwestern virginia. For that reason you won't find hardly a native southerner named Stoneman, or to similar effect - Sherman. |
| Tue Oct 28 18:31:32 2008 From: David Stebbins, Jr. | Great site!! Found some stuff I had forgotten about. I've got your site bookmarked so keep adding to it. Thanks again! |
| Mon Oct 27 17:34:49 2008 From: Alan | I do exactly the same thing! If you'd care to ad to your collection, please let me know. |
| Sun Oct 26 10:15:01 2008 From: Sue Kowalski | I was so happy to find your web sight. Great collection of oldies & easy chords. Would you have easy chords for the song "Patches" by Dickey Lee. It's one of my family's favourites. I come from a family of 8, we get together for Christmas & other holidays, pull out the guitars & sing. Thanks. Sue |
| Sun Oct 26 09:22:47 2008 From: Val Sullivan | I just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work. I lost my binder of music in one of my many moves around the country and have just now started to try and reassemble it. This has filled in so many blanks and I can't thank you enough. |
| Sat Oct 25 18:27:52 2008 From: Francesca | Fantastic! Thank you. I found the chords to the songs I was looking for really quickly. Keep up the good work. |
| Sat Oct 25 08:37:48 2008 From: jiom mcp | Thank You for all the work and effort in making this site. Boy, it sure brings back a lot of memories. I'm looking for the chords to "Old Witch, Old Witch" by Burl Ives. Any luck? Jim |
| Fri Oct 24 09:40:43 2008 From: John | Great site and love the selection of songs. Is it possible to convert the format of your songs to the Chordpro format? I could cut and paste but need to edit the chords. I am using Songbook (by Linkesoft) to collect and story my library of lyrics and chords. Can't wait to get home and play some of these. John |
| Mon Oct 20 18:36:18 2008 From: Mike Coute | Yes I took lessons from Laura's tv show.I would like to know more about her. |

| Sun Oct 19 10:56:04 2008 From: Terry | Thank you so much for giving a relatively new guitar player access to so many great songs in easy chords. It's like you know exactly what my favorite songs are (even an old "Erev Shel Shoshanim," which was on a Belafonte album of mine back in the early 60"s). Any chance you could include Paxton's "Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound"? |
| Sat Oct 18 11:56:21 2008 From: Chris | Aaron, Thanks for the guitar songs site! The transcription tool and printable version have saved me a lot of work preparing for our Thanksgiving sing-along. Cheers, Chris |
| Sat Oct 18 10:03:20 2008 From: Dick | Thanks for the time and effort you put in on these songs, great job. I'm an old man and enjoy the old songs. Keep up the good work. |
| Mon Oct 13 19:43:05 2008 From: Jimbo | This site is magnificent! You have found the coolest of the old cool songs. So far all the chords work for me. I think the current times call for inclusion of the Great Depression classic, Brother Can You Spare A Dime. Thanx for this resource. |
| Mon Oct 13 15:51:18 2008 From: Hershel Lewos | sometime in the 1960's there was a song sung by which i think, was a female German singer with the word, "morgan" in the lyrics. Does anyone remember the name of the song or/and the song title or perhaps the name of the singer? |

| Wed Sep 17 18:37:41 2008 From: Ilene | I'm sure I could be your mother and this wonderful site has brought it all back for me. I'm still singin' tho' my guitar playing has suffered over the years.

Great songs from a great time pas,now revived - looking forward to growing old and singing my way into the sunset. Thanks a million! |
| Mon Sep 15 15:03:56 2008 From: Betsy Spaeth | Love your web site. I am a beginner guitar player and love the chords and lyrics in an easy to follow format. I can't wait for our next campfire to try some out. any chance you have an American pie arrangement? Thanks for all the hard work. You'll keep me from getting any work done for along time. |
| Fri Aug 29 18:45:56 2008 From: Connie White | I am an avid lover of the old John Prine songs, and I have researched every website there ever was to find the lyrics, chords, and or tabs to the song "My Old Man" originally recorded for or with Steve Goodman...can you possibly help me? FYI...your website is awesome, and I have referred it to so many people...keep up the good work!!! |
| Tue Aug 26 17:58:03 2008 From: Ian | I may sound a bit like Craig below, but i also have had a 30 year lapse. I stumbled across your site and am loving it. Thanks for helping me get back into it after so many years. This is Perfect! |
| Tue Aug 26 10:37:21 2008 From: lobo solanos | Best site I have found for those lyrics that I did not have chords for. |
| Fri Aug 22 12:18:32 2008 From: Craig | Thank you so much. I have started playing and singing again after a 30 year lapse. So many of the songs here take me back and will help so much in my reintroduction to the wonderful world of guitar and song. This is a great database, please, keep up the good work. |
| Fri Aug 22 09:45:51 2008 From: Carol | Found your site looking for Three Dog Night songs,(Eli's Coming, Old fashioned love song etc.) and printed out 17 songs. Love the easy chords and format that doesn't print out unnecessary extra pages. Keep up the great work and hope you can find the time to do some three Dog Night in the future |
| Thu Aug 21 17:01:25 2008 From: Doris Robinson | Aaron thank you so much for such a wonderful site! I belong to a group and we are always looking for songs to sing...I love that there are some old songs that I use to sing in school...way back when...lol...but still enjoy singing them now. We will enjoy these songs; that I am sure took some time to put together...great job! |
| Thu Aug 21 16:25:10 2008 From: Katie | Thank you so much for posting these songs on the web! I am always looking for "campfire" sing-a-long songs and I hit the jackpot! These will be great for my husband and I - AND - our parents! Thanks! |

| Tue Aug 19 19:22:53 2008 From: annie Z | A blast from the past. Thanks. AZ |
| Mon Aug 18 08:27:49 2008 From: John Meier DDS,FAGD | Congrats of your compilation of music from the folk revival era. I enjoyed it a lot. Several of our friends are always wanting me to get the old guitar out and have a song fest. But alas, no one knew any of the words. You have solved that problem, or at least you and your mom have solved that problem. And I thank you. Personally, I was a Chemistry/Bio major before dental school 30plus years ago, so I appreciate your academic pursuit as well as your interest in nature. As a hobby, besides period cannon making, I clean up and perserve mammal skulls, and if that weren't enough, spend far too much time in my wood shop. But I digress. Thanks again for the site. JohnM. |
| Sat Aug 16 05:45:11 2008 From: Geoff | Just back from dinner in an 'Irish' restaurant on Mt Tamborine on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Three lads were singing and playing quitars, mandoline and fiddle (not all at the same time!) Absolutely super evening dining and singing by a log fire. On the way down the mountain, the lost words of "...it's a lesson toolate for the learning" came to mind and are now stuck there. I googled you up and "voila!" you have the missing words! Thank you very much. The only bit which doesn't quite fit for me is the phrase in the last stanza "as I lie in my bed EVERY morning" My fading memory seems to suggest "as I lie in my bed IN THE morning" Glad I found your site. We also have a family song book. I shall track it down and see if we can assist your excellent collection. Ciao for now. Geoff (pron. 'JEFF') in American speak. |
| Thu Aug 14 14:56:50 2008 From: JC | First camping trip approaching, after learrning guitar, thanks so much for this, you've made my/our trip! Now to try and play them...:-) |

| Wed Aug 6 19:43:03 2008 From: John | Cool site brother. However no George Harrison? Can you get songs by this giant artist? Like isn't it a pity, and something. Also if Capos are used in songs, could you indicate it? Cool great work you and mother, keep it up!! Much love for a lovely remaing summer. John_*-* |
| Wed Aug 6 09:53:55 2008 From: MUGU | GOOD |
| Mon Aug 4 19:19:40 2008 From: David Ezell | A link to your site was sent me by a friend / guitar student of mine, in reference to a particular song she'd been wanting to learn. Right now, I can't even remember what it was. (I'll go back to it later.) Point bing: I love what you are doing here. The song selction alone is amazing, as well as amazingly diverse. But for now, a simple .. Thank You! DE |
| Sun Aug 3 13:01:49 2008 From: Kurt Geiger | This is fantastic. Thanks for all of your hard work on compiling this. |
| Sat Aug 2 16:47:28 2008 From: Jan Schilling | Thanks so much for this site. So many favorites, and in a key I can sing with chords I can play! I am just coming back to playing guitar after a few years of not playing, and your site has really been a boon. Thanks again! |
| Mon Jul 28 08:35:04 2008 From: Brian Reid | Love your site, I really appreciate getting some sing along music for 'get togethers.' Thank you. Incidentally (for Rev. Roy R Fleshman) "Four Strong Winds" was written by Ian Tyson in the early 1960s. It was recorded by Ian and Sylvia on an album of the same name released in 1964. |
| Thu Jul 24 23:44:04 2008 From: Erika | Thanks for making this site! I'm a beginning guitar player and it's really helpful to have all these great songs (and their chords) together! |
| Mon Jul 21 08:52:55 2008 From: Rev. Roy R Fleshman | wow...nice compilation...my congratulations to you and your mother...nice testimony to the power of song passed along the generations... like another comment below, it is a little eerie how many songs are in common with my own songbooks that I have sung to and now with my kids...pretty neat... thank you for sharing... just a "for what its worth"..."four strong winds" I normally associate with Neil Young...not sure if it was written by him, but probably... |
| Fri Jul 18 13:24:01 2008 From: Doug | Dear Aaron, This is a wonderful site. I've trawled the web for a year or two and just googled to find yours. your transposition trick is unique as far as I can tell. congratulations! THIS is what the Internet was invented for!!! You have a friend in England! come down our pub's folk night any third Wednesday of the month. Find out more about the village at easthagbourne.net Doug |
| Thu Jul 17 18:53:28 2008 From: Timothy Allen | Great song list Aaron! Thanks for some great old tunes! I'm practicing my guitar again thanks to you. And funny you mention Puerto Rico in your site. I'm originally from Orange County, CA and ended in San Germán PR for 7 years where I finished my Masters in Education and stayed on to work at the IAU. I love and miss the island! Now you just need to add some tunes in Spanish to your site one of these days when you are not too busy working on your PhD in Arecibo. ¡Exito y gracias¡ Tim |
| Thu Jul 17 16:16:00 2008 From: Steve Sheridan | Wow. What a Guestbook. I'm learning guitar and ready for my first song. I decided on "This Land is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie and found the chords on another site. Working with that and listening to the song as I did I realized quickly that the chords are bogus. Thanks for providing a much better and more accurate rendition of the chords to that song. Cheers |

| Wed Jul 16 14:42:50 2008 From: Harmony | I found your wonderful site in a search lyrics/chords for Ian Tyson's SOMEDAY SOON! I used to sing it years ago, but had lost it somewhere along the way. I just had my 63rd birthday last week and have been playing since the early 70's, but there were some LONG layoffs when life got in the way. We may leave the music, but it always waits and welcomes us when we return. Thank you, Aaron, for helping so many folks come back to THE MUSIC! |
| Wed Jul 16 13:47:05 2008 From: clint ellison | Great work. I do a lot of folk songs and that's how I found your site. I love it when people have passions and can actually live them. Now, go find a comet or a nebula you can name after yourself. |

| Thu Jul 10 23:00:33 2008 From: Sandy Garrison | We are holding our NAMI picnic next month and we needed some songs to sing around the fire. Thanks for the music. It's surprising how many adults are ready to add their voices to a campfire singalong. |
| Wed Jul 9 19:14:33 2008 From: joe Arnup | Nice collection of tunes. I recently put together my family songbook and there is creepy amount of crossover. I like the layout of your site and everything. It's not super accurate, but I can figure that the missing chords on my own. More importantly, I never would have thought to play tunes in the first place if you hadn't reminded me of their exist. Thanks |
| Wed Jul 9 17:12:38 2008 From: Graham Bath | I stumbled upon this site and have enjoyed your collection immensly. I haven't heard universal soldier in years but it has lost none of it's relevance, Thank you for doing this |

| Sat Jul 5 22:45:25 2008 From: Misty | What a wonderful compilation of music i remember singing as a kid around the bonfires!!! What memories you have brought back.... I taught myself guitar at age 16, mostly on these songs....now, at 51, I'm teaching myself the drums.... If you ever come across the chords/lyrics for "Green Green" (I think the New Christie Minstrels recorded it, among others), I would LOVE to have that - it somehow got misplaced 30 years or so ago... Again, thank you so much for your hard work and dedication - what a wonderful thing to do! |
| Sat Jul 5 15:22:55 2008 From: Delores Williams | Very happy to find your site. I, like your mother, have been collecting songs -I play guitar- for 60 years and have nearly 800 lyrics, most of which I can sing. You have some I know but don't have and I love the way you have made them easy to copy. I just did Sloop John B. I jam every Tuesday night in a local cafe in Leasburg Mo which has been a 'happening' now for over 30 years. I look forward to taking a longer look at your list. If you are looking for anything imparticular I might have it. |
| Sat Jul 5 13:34:14 2008 From: David | "Fishing For Chickens" was recorded by Hobo Jim |
| Fri Jul 4 09:02:57 2008 From: Diane | Thank you for your site, its wonderful! Can you possible give me the chords and lyrics for Jackson Browne's "The Rebel Jesus" and "In the Shape of a Heart"? I've looked everywhere. Thanks again, Diane |

| Thu Jun 26 13:09:52 2008 From: William | This is a great website, excellent chords and lyrics of folk songs. |
| Wed Jun 25 20:31:40 2008 From: Terry OBrien | I had a binder that had all of my folk music with their guitar chords in it. I was in my 20's when I put this binder together. I sang and strummed that music for years. I haven't touched my guitar in at least 35 years. Suddenly a few months ago, I looked at it and went to look for my binder of music. God knows what happened to it. But in my usual persistence, I went onto the webb and my search was happily completed. Your mom's songs and chords were my songschords. So this "older" lady who needs to move her fingers again, thanks you. |
| Wed Jun 25 12:48:48 2008 From: Ben | love your page, using many of the songs. I have been trying(with no luck)to figure out the chords to a David Ball song, "whenever you come back to me" it's a very pretty song and I would love to be able to play it. If you or a reader knows this one or can figure it out I would be eternally grateful. It could be emailed to me or I will check here occasionally. Thanks is advance. Ben |
| Tue Jun 24 08:54:20 2008 From: Jim George | I teach guitar to many ages, and to sub-cultures that are not heavily electric or metallic... :o It is truly refreshing to find reasonable songs that are within the memory of parents or students, and are within reach of more novice guitarists. Many thanks for your dedication and work. Blessings to you and your family -jim |
| Mon Jun 23 12:30:32 2008 From: Terry Adams | Thank you so very much for all your wonderful work. I was in the process of selecting songs for a campfire next week at the Lake county Metroparks and came upon your site searcing for John Denver songs. You have saved me millions of hours because all the songs I had in mind are on your site and they are in the chord sequences I am very familiar with. You are a genius and a very humanitarian person for doing all this wonderful work. "Music Soothes the Soul." |
| Sat Jun 21 15:01:44 2008 From: Dave (Texan in California) | This list of songs is phenomenal! I'm not a fan of much new (modern) music at all. These are the classics! Please add more! |
| Wed Jun 18 08:07:45 2008 From: Jim Pace | Very cool site! Thanks for all you do! |
| Tue Jun 17 16:34:07 2008 From: Bill | Ya done good brother...may the positive energy generated by your sharing these songs.....return to you and yours a thousand fold. Peace |
| Sun Jun 15 03:43:15 2008 From: Connie D. | This is wonderful! I'm 55 yrs. old - lady banker by trade, but love music. Got my 1st guitar @13, and am really a "dime-a-dozen" rythem guitar player, but have entertained family and friends for years. Just got a banjo and am learning that; but I did print out several songs to add to my repretoir of about 250-300 guitar songs. Good luck with your little family. |
| Sat Jun 14 18:39:11 2008 From: Laura | thank you so much for creating this list of songs for people to reference. My son is starting to play the guitar and I love sharing this with him. |
| Thu Jun 12 21:51:35 2008 From: Fran McColman | Wow! What a great site! I am so happy I found this site. You were blessed to have such a talented mom. I am just learning how to play the guitar and I love being able to transpose a song into a key that I can play. You have many songs here that I want to learn to play. (And wait till I show it to my husband who is also just learning to play the guitar! He is going to be excited to see some of his favorite Grateful Dead songs!) Thank you soooooo much for sharing with all of us. |

| Fri May 30 14:38:45 2008 From: "Grandma Fuey" | Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I am from a generation before you, but I know all these songs from hearing my children at the hootenanys years ago. Now I play autoharp for fun and as a teacher, and your site is a wonderful resource for me to refer my students to. The chords work just fine for autoharp and other instruments, and best of all is your transpostion feature. Thanks again! |
| Tue May 27 10:12:06 2008 From: Seth | This is a wonderful resource for those of us who enjoy singing and have basic guitar skills, but not the ear to figure out the chords on our own! I haven't gone through the whole thing yet, but I did notice "900 miles" has no author attributed. It was written by Woody Guthrie. |
| Sun May 25 18:29:10 2008 From: Nancy | Awesome! People have reason to give you their two cents worth...great site Aaron! In Springhill, NS, Canada we love this kind of music. Anne Murray is our Idol and she's sung many of these over the years. Like you,I grew up hearing many of these songs too. I've been playing guitar for about 8 yrs. and I love it. This site gives me lots of variety to keep me strumming. Thank you, and your mom for keeping the tunes alive. Congrats of new baby. Nancy |
| Sun May 25 08:17:14 2008 From: rosemary spurr | Thank you, I printed a few songs and they are in a key I can manage. Thanks a lot. Rosey |

| Tue May 20 06:39:31 2008 From: Joe CIp | I love most of these songs!! Thanks so much!! Is there any way to get a file of them all in one place so I can print them out all at once and not one at a time? Thanks!! |
| Mon May 19 20:56:41 2008 From: Suzanne | Hi Aaron! What a great page! Thank you so much for choosing so many great songs and the transposer is fabulous, especially for lower-voiced folks like me (who are also on the lazy side in transposing ourselves!) I was just given a guitar by someone who knew I'd missed playing for the last 25 or so years, and am loving the great tunes on your site. Thank you again and so many best wishes to you and Sarah and your new family! |
| Mon May 19 11:24:00 2008 From: Dave Stevenson | Hey Aaron, I just came across your guitar pages. I really like the tunes that you picked. Many of them are what I grew up listening to as a teen and beyond -- you and your mom have good taste :-). The chord structure is great -- not too complicated yet complements the songs. I've been banging around on the guitar for a long time and still can't play real well. These tunes (with the chording) you've put together make me feel that I can play not too bad :-) Thanks for that. Keep the site going Aaron. It's a happy place. All the best, dave |
| Sun May 18 08:31:39 2008 From: Tony Dyson | Wonderful site - I've been learning to play the guitar for about 15 months now (after buying a guitar for my son's 12th birthday) and searching high and low for nice easy listing/easy to play songs to strum along to. The songs on your guitar page are perfect, and I'll be visiting many more times, I'm sure. |
| Sat May 17 01:07:50 2008 From: sweeny | You Aaron....holla at your boy. |
| Fri May 16 18:15:24 2008 From: Linda | I just bought my son a guitar and he is really enjoying it, however, I couldn't find any of the music I used to play when I was learning. I haven't played in 20 years. I was elated to find all my old songs posted on this website. Thanks for your effort. Some of these songs made me smile. Your dream of giving them to another generation is holding true here. Thanks!! |
| Thu May 15 10:25:31 2008 From: Reese Kerslake | I just found, but already enjoy, your site. I am just beginning to play guitar, and your list seems to have all the songs I have wanted to learn. I especially like being able to change the keys (to get away from that pesky F-chord) Thank you so much for your time and effort. Reese |
| Wed May 14 15:09:45 2008 From: Erin McMahon | Wondering if you remember me. You're mom sent my mom your site. Congrats on the new baby. It's been many, many years. I'm raft guiding in Colorado(2nd yr here, 8th as a guide). The 1st 6yrs were in WV. Hoping to switch to multi day guiding in Utah or Idaho next summer...or maybe Alaska. Glad to hear you're doing well. Take care. |
| Wed May 14 09:47:13 2008 From: Mr. Walele Zeou | Dear Sir, MY NAME IS Mr.Zeou Walele. Iam the head of Operations cemac Bank of africa plc.Sometime in 1996, a certain man Mr.kelly smith brought a luggage marked family treasure to me for safe-keeping in our bank. I met the man in 1992 in America and he introduced himself as a SHIP CAPTAIN. We became intimate more when he realized my profession,there and then, he informed me about the consignment. However, I did not take it so serious not until he brought the box to my office.I assisted him in depositing the treasure and CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT issued to him.However,he saw me as someone trustworthy and decided to hand-over the document to me for safe-keeping. He left back to his country, though he is always on the Sea being a Sailor. All our correspondence was through telephone.Our discussion stopped since last year when I called his telephone number, and behold someone else had bought over the telephone. the new subscriber told me that Mr. kelly smith died along-side, his wife and only two children at the World Trade Centre during the BIN-LADEN bomb blast, in America. This news shocked me so much that MR. kelly smith did not leave any of his contact address or next of kin,and since then all plans to trace any of his relatives proved abortive. Honestly, I became confused, and resorted to informing my colleague in the office, who suggested that we should open the box a little to know the content proper.The box was carefully opened and GUESS WHAT? BILLS OF ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATE DOLLARS, denomination carefully defaced. I and my colleague agreed and secretly took the box out from the bank and deposited it with a security company here. We have concluded plans to invest the money total three million seven hundred thousand united staed dollars $3.7m(USD) out of cotonou republic of benin and required an assistance from a Would-be Trustworthy Over-Seas Partner who will help us receive the money overseas. If you can assist us, we can arrange and bring the money to your country by the help of Diplomats, for investment. I and my colleague has agreed to give you 30% of the total sum. Be rest-assured that the transaction is 100% risk-free and your urgent response is highly needed. So we cannot look for another person. Awaiting your urgent reply. Best regards, Mr.Zeou Walele. |

| Tue May 13 14:44:33 2008 From: Garry Smythe | Great little site, would love to be abl to make my music sheets auto transpose, I tend to use excell spreadsheet just kinda easier if I put the chords on the line above the words like you do |
| Tue May 13 05:57:41 2008 From: AnneGentry | Not sure you'll remember me, Aaron, but we're the crazies from WV. You all's son is so beautiful!!!! Talked with Shirley yesterday...quite the proud grandmother. Anyway, so glad to see things going so well. I'll send Erin your address. She was asking what you were up to. Hugs to your family and enjoy the warm weather. |

| Fri May 9 17:33:12 2008 From: Hianix | thanks for this wonderful site. And guess what? The chords are so most correct and true. I've got my guitar playing the whole thing before I commit them into printing coz i've had so many papers wasted before on printing songs that have complete mess up chords. Can u also include 'yesterday' if possible? thanks. helps a lot....take of yourself..with great gratitude. HM |
| Thu May 8 14:13:05 2008 From: Michael Dresdner | Thank you so much for this wonderful website. It's helping me reconnect to my old folk singing days, with so many songs I have long forgotten. If I may offer one correction, below are the correct words to Phil Ochs' Changes, taken directly from his songbook The War is Over published by Barricade Music in 1968 (yes, I am one of those geeks who still has his copy of this tome from my college days. Below are only the two verses that are not correct. Moments of magic will glow in the night. All fears of the forest are gone, and when the morning breaks, they’re swept away like golden drops of dawn, of changes Passions will part to a strange melody As fires will sometimes burn cold, like petals in the wind, We're puppets to the silver strings of souls, of changes. Again, thank you so much for this website. |
| Thu May 8 06:44:58 2008 From: Neil Col | i thought this site was brilliant. I've loved phil Ochs for 30 years but he's not too popular here in Scotland. Also loved your tabs for The seekers, Peter,Paul & Mary and Bob Dylan. If you get time how about doing chords for Johnny I hardly knew ya. Thanks again. Cheers. |

| Mon May 5 16:21:34 2008 From: Robin Kenney | I enjoyed your collection of lyrics and guitar chords. I printed about 25 songs to be added to my family sing-along book. I hope to pass on the love of these great folk songs to my children and grandchildren. We are planning a tubing trip to the Guadalupe River later this month and I cannot wait to sing "Puff the Magic Dragon" and the "Unicorn Song" to my grandchildren. |
| Mon May 5 11:02:40 2008 From: Michael | Looking for some free popular piano music, any ideas? Thanks |

| Sat May 3 09:51:19 2008 From: Rick | I just wanted to add my appreciation for all the songs on your site. It's so much fun being able to play these songs for and with my kids.The best part is the fact that people can transpose the music with just a click of the mouse. Verrry cool. Saves lots of time. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. |
| Fri May 2 22:14:22 2008 From: Wendy | Its great to find all these old songs that I love. Glad to hear you'll be passing them on. I'm singing all the old favorites with my grandchildren now, and we're learning to play guitar together. 3 generations! One old favorite that I can't find is The Chocolate Ice Cream Cone, it was recorded by Red Foley. Would love to have the chords if you know it. I don't have the skill yet to figure them out. Thanks, Wendy |
| Fri May 2 10:46:22 2008 From: Vernon Jenkins | What a great site!! I am 62 and these were the songs of my youth! So good to see them and how often I tried to play them, having no musical ability. Still, I have been looking for songs by a singer of that time, Lynn Gold I believe her name is. She sang on an album, Sakura ("cherry blossoms fill the sky") and a song about a "chevron perched" does that ring any bells? |
| Fri May 2 03:15:55 2008 From: Linda | Looking for the music and lyrics to "Are you there, Mr Bear? |
| Thu May 1 21:29:04 2008 From: Tom Tam | Wondered if you'd like to at the Bob Dylan Song...Tomorrow is Such a Long Time to you list. It is a tender song. |
| Thu May 1 21:15:59 2008 From: Tom Tam | I'm going to home to Honolulu next weekend to get together with friends. We will have a uke-fest. I have sent your website to them so we can have some songs that we'll be able to play and sing together. Your work will be well appreciated. The words 'thank you' are not enough but will have to do to express our appreciation. Tom |
| Thu May 1 19:25:43 2008 From: Louis Duenweg | Absolutely love your site. My friends and I play and sing all night and just have a blast. Keep up the great job |

Thanks! |
| Thu Apr 24 14:24:22 2008 From: Art James | My wife had purchased my first six string acoustic for Christmas '87. This yamaha has been with me since. Sadly I never did learn to play well enough. I suppose being able to fret "F's", "B's" and barring chords will always elude me; but I always pick it daily and strum out a few simple-basic tunes. It's sites like yours that inspire me to keep trying. Thank you for sharing. Art James. (One day I'll get real clever and be able to play all songs I like in C, D, E, A, or G. But there was a song written named Dream, Dream, Dream...) ;) Art |

| Wed Apr 16 18:40:20 2008 From: Harvey silverberg | I took up playing the guitar primarily to play songs of the sixties and the folk songs popular when I was teen (and the dinosaurs walked the earth). I couldn't find any songbook that had what I wanted, and Lordy Lordy I was so happy when I found your website. My fingers are getting calluses on top of calluses, but I thank you from the bottom of my first and sixth string for your songs. |
| Tue Apr 15 08:06:25 2008 From: john bange | best site on web...so glad your back |

| Wed Mar 19 15:06:00 2008 From: Jim Darley | WOW! What a find. I'm probably your mother's age and I've been playing and singing these kind of songs (recreationally) since I was 14. And a transposing machine to boot! I'm going to be spending a lot of time here. THANK YOU SO MUCH, AARON. And all the best with your new family. Jim |
| Tue Mar 18 11:09:20 2008 From: Chris Meyer | Hi Aaron, my name is Chris and I am a friend of your mom's and I have met your Dad too.

| Tue Mar 18 09:13:24 2008 From: heidi kuss | I just arrived here!! see what I can find I am also guitar player, born in the early fifies, also a beatles, etc fan. greetings to all Heidi |
| Mon Mar 17 13:29:25 2008 From: Dan | Thanks for all your work. I'm a "lonesome" guitar guy - I only play when I'm alone; but I enjoy what I can. I'm trying to find playable chords for "Walk a Mile In My Shoes" (Joe South). If you know of it, perhaps you could point me in the right direction. Thanks again. |
| Mon Mar 17 12:49:12 2008 From: LLC | Hi, I grew up with these songs. Thank you for working them out and posting them. I am re-learning the guitar, and you have helped motivate me to "keep at it" -Lee |
| Sun Mar 16 10:55:35 2008 From: gayle polin-ferreira | Great site---I used to know a million of these songs--John Pilla (Arlo Guthrie's guitar player) and Jerry Ricks were my guitar teachers- they were the best...unfortunately, i have lost all my lyrics and the world has lost both of these wonderful teachers Thanks for the site Gayle |
| Sat Mar 15 15:58:19 2008 From: Brandon | Thanks! Really helped me when learning the guitar. |

| Tue Mar 11 20:15:05 2008 From: Bob | Very nice collection. I have been playing guitar for 30 years and loved rediscovering" some of the songs of my youth. Thanks Bob |
| Sun Mar 9 17:56:04 2008 From: Dave Oliphant | Many thanks for the selection---I have an Aussie Bush/Bluegrass Band near Sydney Australia, and needed to do a particular folk club singalong session-your selection fills that requirement nicely ! Keep up the good work. |
| Tue Mar 4 13:08:53 2008 From: Jack | Nice site |
| Tue Mar 4 13:05:28 2008 From: hoelen | Thx man great effort |
| Mon Mar 3 20:38:57 2008 From: Dan | Found your simple guitar songs by accident. Learning to play for year so they really come in handy. A good mix of popular tunes! Thanks for helping a stranger. |
| Mon Mar 3 09:42:24 2008 From: Gil McNaughton | Great site! Thanks for the effort. I know you are bringing joy to many like myself. |
| Sun Mar 2 18:55:17 2008 From: Anthony Cerminaro | Thank you for putting up this site and all the work that goes into it. I am playing guitar again after all these years. The callouses are back on the tips of my fingers. And all is right with the world. I am heartened to know others are reliving and reviving their playing days. Your site is a tremendous help for us to whom these songs are as familiar as rain. thanks again |
| Sun Mar 2 18:04:55 2008 From: Joe | Thanks for the wonderful compilation and the effort it took to put it together. Obviously a labor of love and greatly appreciated by all of us Sunday afternoon plunkers. |
| Sun Mar 2 13:05:33 2008 From: Becca | This is so perfect! Thank you so much for compiling these songs. They take me back to driving through the Rockies with my family listening to John Denver on the 8-track! I love that I found this and now can learn to play them for my own children someday. |
| Sat Mar 1 12:56:44 2008 From: rachel | Wow!! I thought I hit the jack pot!! These are the kind of songs that got me wanting to play guitar. I could never find them. Thanks!! |
| Fri Feb 29 17:42:05 2008 From: Susan Greene | Just wanted to say how very much I appreciate you taking the time to do this website and share these songs and guitar chords. What a wonderful resource and confirmation to me that we many are more alike than we are different and music is such a source of joy and love through the generations! Thanks again! |
| Thu Feb 28 18:36:36 2008 From: Cathy | On swing low sweet chariot it seems there might be a key error on the Line : a band of angels comin' after me-it has G7 over the word comin'-should it be F? |
| Thu Feb 28 09:51:38 2008 From: Cathy | Great site-I have just started learning to play guitar at 54 and these songs bring back so many memories and are easier to play-Thanks |
| Thu Feb 28 04:51:52 2008 From: anonomous | could you add a lot more John Denver songs. |
| Tue Feb 26 17:43:19 2008 From: Keith | I just wanted to say thank you for the music. Santa gave me a Uke for Christmas and said it was from the neighbors cause my Marshall's are too loud. I have been practicing as mush as I can, then finding this website has made it easier. |
| Mon Feb 25 11:10:46 2008 From: josh | just found your page today, cant stop playin- and singin. most complete set of songs i've wanted to learn that i've found. cheers |
| Sun Feb 24 06:38:48 2008 From: Anna | Thanks for all the effort you've put in to spreading music (and therefore joy) to strangers. It gives me faith in humanity that people like you share simply for the sake of sharing, with nothing to gain. Was wondering if you, or anyone else reading the guest book, knows where I could find the chords to 'River of Jordan' by Peter, Paul & Mary, in the movie Airplane. I's a really beautiful song and I just can't find it anywhere. |
| Fri Feb 22 06:57:49 2008 From: Roger Peters | Beautiful compilation of songs. I've been looking for these songs since ages with proper chords and finaly found it in your wesite. It's a wonderful wesite and I am hoping to see more and more of evergreen songs updated in your website. Thanks to you and your mom for bringing up such a useful site. Hats off and keep up the good work. Roger.. India.. |
| Wed Feb 20 15:58:23 2008 From: Sahl | What a great site :) |

| Sun Feb 17 01:26:19 2008 From: jim whooten | Thanks for the site. |
| Mon Feb 11 09:10:36 2008 From: Cindy | My dearest friend Peter asked me if I could find the words and chords to the song "Boxer" and we were so delighted to find them on your web site! We are both really curious to know how web pages are invented and that it doesn't cost anyone anything. How can that be? Amazing world... He was in his 20's in the 60's playing in rock bands (even on tour to Vietnam with a group during the war), he is also amazed that since these songs are copy written - how is it that someone can post them on the web? We are truly thankful to you and your Mom for sharing this talent of yours with the world. |
| Sat Feb 9 15:07:36 2008 From: Bob Angelo | What a fantastic compilation of songs. Thanks to your site, I am remembering so many of these wonderful songs I used to sing when I was young. You can bet that I'll dust off the old Martin and get back in the groove. Thank you and your mom for sharing these songs with all of us out here. |
| Sat Feb 9 00:18:06 2008 From: Dr Julian Hubbard | Hi Aaron, Just a note to say thanks for the songs. I'm a Brit living out here in Qatar but grew up in the States and some of these tunes bring back great memories of Princeton High School 1968-70. I play clawhammer banjo and having the chords makes tabbing out the songs a whole lot easier. Good work! |
| Fri Feb 8 04:00:32 2008 From: corners | good work mate, I only found your site about two days ago, got some great songs on and I love the fact that you want those songs from your childhood to be passed on to your little one, thats what music is really all about. thanks for putting the time and effort into making a site like this, many people really appreciate it... cheers from oz corners |
| Thu Feb 7 19:14:03 2008 From: Brandon The Troll | Cool site |
| Wed Feb 6 00:46:29 2008 From: richard | hi |
| Tue Feb 5 19:07:27 2008 From: Shirley Parsons | Paul, this is Aaron's mom. I like your chords better, too. Since I was the one that made up the chords Aaron published, I stand corrected. Thanks for your input. |
| Sun Feb 3 19:58:00 2008 From: Craig | I love it. I've been playing the uke for less than a year and I need simple cords to strum to songs that everybody knows. Thank you. |
| Fri Feb 1 13:35:19 2008 From: paul | Always have admired the share many of the songs. Your transposer is very cool.
Although most of the chord suggestions are fine, I dislike the chords for The Good Times That We Had. Here are mine (Slashes are for the second beat, 4/4 time):
The Good Times We Had (written by Noel Stookey)
C / G /
Times have changed.
C / Am / D7 / D7 /
All the good times that we had . . .
G7 / G7 /
Are gone now.
C / G /
Passed this way,
C / Am / D7 / D7 /
Only memories will remain . . .
G7 / G7 /
Tomorrow.

| Thu Jan 31 00:00:40 2008 From: Dave | This is Great,the calluses are back again, Oh Yeah. The search is on for some friends that will sing along. I am learning the lyrics to the tunes that have always been in my memories. It's just wonderful how they all come together. Much obliged. We appreciate the flowers. |
| Tue Jan 29 20:25:36 2008 From: Mike | Very cool site!!! A great deal of the stuff is accurate also. I'm sure your song list will grow with your kids. Thanks. |
| Sun Jan 27 13:26:46 2008 From: hazel | I love this site - but every so often I click a link and get nothing but code. It goes away after a day, usually. Weird. |
| Wed Jan 23 18:15:31 2008 From: sarah | great site! unfortunately however everytime i click on a song i get a paragraph's worth of code but no song. might want to check into that. just started today. |
| Sun Jan 20 21:54:24 2008 From: Meredith | Thanks for the helpful site. I am a music therapist and mostly work with young children with disabilities, but have recently added an adult client to my caseload. I was looking for some singable classic rock, country, and folk tunes to add to my repertoire. The notation and transposition system will come in very handy and save me quite a bit of time. |
| Sat Jan 19 23:58:25 2008 From: Dee Bond | Hi there....great site thanks - I used to play so many of these songs some 30 years ago and now I am re-learning them! Love it if you could do the chords for "Shower the People" - James Taylor...I just love that song! Anyway, I'm having fun with my guitar and with trying out these songs again, thanks for the trouble you go to! |
| Wed Jan 16 23:14:02 2008 From: Paul Martel | I'm from Louisiana. During my years in Epworth, Iowa, from 1964 - 1968, I was in a folk group called The Colorful Few. I had learned many of the songs that you have here and over time I had forgotten the lyrics to some of them. Some I thought I would never see again like "The Rooster Song", which we used to play and get a good laugh. I had forgotten the lyrics to "Bottle of Wine" and I though that I would never find that song anywhere. Thanks a lot! It reminds me of a time when we really loved to sing together. |
| Mon Jan 14 12:48:34 2008 From: Lonna B | Great Site! I was looking for Little Boxes and found so much more. I love the transpose system, I think I understand it. I play the ukulele so being able to transpose really helps me out. Fantastic collection of songs- I started playing I'm only Sleeping right away- sounds great on the uke. Keep up the great work. Good luck with the new little one. Lonna |
| Sat Jan 12 11:49:21 2008 From: Dennis | I'm not sure how to use your "transpose" system. I would like to be able to transpose songs, but can't seem to get it to work. Dennis |
| Sat Jan 12 10:05:25 2008 From: Mary A Tierney | Your mom must be very cool! (and so are you). I can't wait to share this with my circle of mostly life-long friends who get together about 5 times a year and perform many of these songs for our own amusement. (We mostly think we sound pretty bad, lots of times we totally hit it; but the point is we're having fun) Thanks again. |
| Fri Jan 11 20:16:11 2008 From: Sally Price | What a wonderful resource this is, Aaron! Thanks for putting all these fabulous songs online. I used guitar for teaching, but now play for pleasure with my husband and friends. The transposition capability is outstanding! |
| Fri Jan 11 12:03:08 2008 From: Shay | Great site, and great songs. Well done! |
| Thu Jan 10 14:04:04 2008 From: Sylvia | I just want to tell you your doing a GREAT job. I just started playing the guitar and these songs are so helpful. One song I can't seen to find the chords for is the James Taylor "Never Die Young". If you come across it will you please put it on you site.Thanks Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sylvia |
| Wed Jan 9 12:33:03 2008 From: Dennis Minder | Hi, I been playing for years and collecting songs, like your mother. We must be of similar age and taste in music. I really appreciate your time and effort putting the songs together. Playing has certainly enriched my life and I consider your website a treasure. Thanks Again. Dennis |
| Tue Jan 8 03:29:23 2008 From: barney | Hi i was looking for easy songs and chords as i am just learning the guitar and i loved your sight well done keep up the good work. barney (n.ireland) |

| Sun Jan 6 22:46:06 2008 From: Peter | Thanks for the Songs! Your story is fascinating. I grew up in N. NM and S. Co so I relate! Just did an 18 day float trip down the Colorado through the GC. Marvelous, and we played/sang some of your songs. Congrats on the forthcoming baby! We have an 8 month old grand child and two grown kids too. Sounds like you have a fascinating life! Pete |
| Sun Jan 6 08:49:52 2008 From: Jeu Foon | Fantastic songs! Great selection, playable and interesting! Your mom taught you guitar well. Add some more tunes while you still have some time as a pre-dad! (Expecting you to post "It's a Small World" anyday now!) Thanks again for the songs!!! |
| Sat Jan 5 15:15:23 2008 From: David Walck | HEY! Well, I saw your mother at the library yesterday and she gave me the cordial update on the wonderful Parson clan. It got me to thinking about you. Actually, I thought about you earlier in December when my yard became one with plastic forks again. It was a poor attempt in comparison to the first year I lived in Rangely. This time there weren't Vienna sausages and there weren't any neighborhood cats feeding on the weenie delicacies. None-the-less, it made me wonder what you were up too. How are things? How is life outside of the country? Will AP junior be allowed to run for president someday? Or will he/she be born on foriegn soil? I hope all is great. I am enjoying the last few days of vacation before the spring semester. I would love to hear from you, so if you get a moment, hit me up. Best wishes and stay even--dwalck |
| Sat Jan 5 14:09:54 2008 From: Peter Clintworth | Hi Aaron, I fell into your site loking for chords to John Denver songs, I found what I needed! Its a good site! one thing though, where are your Bruce Springsteen songs? TP BD JD JB GD S+G Bruce seems a glaring omission you need to complete your site and get Bruce on!!good stuff anyway!! Peter (Liverpool,England) |

| Fri Jan 4 09:02:47 2008 From: Bruce | Great site. I like the transposer thing, it certainly helps to move things into the one key I can sort-of sing in ;-) Was it difficult to put together? |
| Sat Dec 29 07:59:15 2007 From: Barbara | Thanks for compiling and sharing such a terrific list of songs (with chords easy enough to play.) I feel like I have stumbled onto a treasure chest of music! |
| Fri Dec 21 22:26:55 2007 From: Rob | Thanks for having this site. |
| Thu Dec 20 13:10:36 2007 From: Romy | Great work there. I wish you could post more songs with chords. Keep up the good work. |
| Tue Dec 18 21:54:31 2007 From: ROB | Excellant site with good chording for great songs, not a few have I been looking for. It Ain't Me, Babe (DYLAN) just didn't seem to have the ring I remembered from the sixties. After some searching,including Dylan's chordings, I found a mix that presents good sound and am open to feedback.. Line 1 chords are same- G,Am,Bm,Am,G Line 2 chords - repeat line one chords Line 3&4 Change G to Bm, leave Am as is. Line 5 as is from C to D In the chorus, Add a D at the third no of the second line as is already done in the third line. |

| Mon Dec 17 11:24:07 2007 From: Aaron Parsons | Just added "Box of Rain". Man, I could listen to that song on repeat all day. It's hard to do it justice singing solo, though. |

| Wed Dec 5 22:08:56 2007 From: DAISY | I am a really really new beginner that has "tinkered" with my guitar off and on for the last couple of years mostly because I don't have a lot of time to practice or take lessons. I had almost given up because I thought I would never learn a song at this rate. I know 7 chords, and found 7+ songs that I could "play" right away. Still have to learn the strum rhythms, but that's ok. I have new hope because of your site! |
| Tue Dec 4 20:04:59 2007 From: kathy | Great site, my daughter plays guitar and I like to sing my heart out so decided it's time to learn the oldies and goodies! Many thanks Kathy |

| Sat Dec 1 17:52:43 2007 From: Jannie | Many thanks for the great song list. I found many that I was looking for. |

| Mon Nov 19 11:46:28 2007 From: Lynn | Hello, I'm a new ukulele player and I've been trying to play the song A Soalin' by PP&M. I have tried the chords you have on my uke and they don't sound like the song. Should I transpose to another key? I'm not sure if an Am on the guitar is the same as on the uke. I was able to pick out the opening riff and "heigh ho" bit on the C string. Please excuse my ignorance and have a very Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks for your help! Lynn |
| Mon Nov 19 11:20:06 2007 From: DEANNA | It's so good to see the folk songs I used to play in the 60's... Thought I would never again find lyrics to things long ago thrown out. Thank you. |
| Sat Nov 17 09:38:47 2007 From: Suzanne Pierson | Such a Gift! Thank you for these songs which are so important. Many more generations will hear them now because of your efforts to pass them along. You are staying true to the FOLK TRADITION and it means more than "lyrics" can say:) So, hello from Boulder, CO and me, a veteran Folksinger/songwriter named "SOUPY", found at Song Ceremonies in the Google giggle pool! I'm forever in debt to your generosity. |
| Fri Nov 16 18:37:24 2007 From: Jake | A great find for our guitar group ... thanks for the effort ... I read a little music and would love to see the sheet music for some of the early songs ... have you come across anyone who put the same effort in that you obviously did for chords and lyrics ... |
| Wed Nov 14 00:30:30 2007 From: bryan mills | Made use of your site and just wanted to say thank you. I've been playing guitar for about 40 years now, and these are the kind of songs I like to play and sing. Take care. |

| Tue Oct 30 07:54:34 2007 From: Dave | Aaron, thank you so much for this site. I have been playing a few months and am finally getting to the point where I can play some simple songs. I found a bunch on here that I want to work on. I have bookmarked it and will be back for more! Thanks. Dave S. |
| Mon Oct 29 19:20:56 2007 From: Bill | Excellent! It made me smile to see some of the songs that I grew up with. The first song I ever played on my guitar was Peter Paul and Mary's Sinner Man. What a kick! I am always looking for this kind of thing. Thanks thanks thanks. Bill M |
| Wed Oct 24 19:23:50 2007 From: Seymour E. Kary | Dear Aaron: I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed roaming this compilation, transposing, and printing out songs. This vehicle is a BOON! to amateur folk singer guitarists like myself. The transposing mechanism is the "cat's meow!" Thanks again and again. |
| Wed Oct 24 10:41:58 2007 From: Janie | thanks for all the hard work and for sharing. A lot of these tunes are going into our family reunion songbook, and I'm sending the link to my group of folkie friends |
| Wed Oct 24 00:31:18 2007 From: Chris Rininger | love this.... cracked me up to hear my 8-year-old singing house of the rising sun - the transposition feature is great for all of us guitar challenged ones - you can bet there are people playing and smiling this moment reading whatever song it is from this site on their laptop LCD - you truly rock - if it were up to me, we would cut defense spending and fund a team to help you expand, because this site's gotta be making some peace and love in unexpected places - a permanent bookmark - I could keep going... :) |
| Mon Oct 22 19:32:52 2007 From: Regina | Thank you so much for this compilation. I am part of a group holding a rally to put climate change on the political and social agendas. Your site helped me find old familiar songs we can use at the rally. Hopefuly, we'll be able to change the words of some of them so that they are relevant to the topic. Thank you once again. |
| Mon Oct 22 08:57:56 2007 From: James | You have obviously put an immense amount of work into this and yet you are generous enough to share the fruits of your labour on the web - for free! Thankyou so much. You have made a doctor in England very happy (although his friends and family will be less happy unless he improves his playing). Thanks to you I have become acquainted with a whole collection of music which I had previously never heard (I have spent the last 3 days flitting back and forth between your site and itunes). I am particularly grateful for the introduction to "The cat came back". Love it! |
| Sun Oct 21 13:56:50 2007 From: Dave Bennett | Great site, glad someone's doing this, thanks for all your hard work. If I recall right, Kristofferson wrote 'Me & Bobby McGee'. Think in terms of Otis Redding at Newport introducing Respect by saying now I'm gonna sing a song a woman took away from me. And speaking of Pearl, if it ever comes up, Bob Neuwrith wrote Mercedes Benz. |
| Sat Oct 20 17:40:43 2007 From: Milton Erhardt | Whoa! The lyrics are wonderful. The chords I can figure out quick (unless it's Jazz) but I hate figuring out lyrics! Big Blue Frog" Yessss! I thought your readers might enjoy having the 1st 2 verses of "Goodnight Irene" I learned them from Leadbelly's recording of the song. I don't start with the chorus as neither did Leadbelly. "I asked your mother for you she said you was to young i wish dear lord i'd never seen your face i wish you'd never been born chorus Last Saturday night I got married me and my wife settled down Now me and my wife we are parted so I'll take a little walk downtown chorus" "Goodnight Irene" (the Weavers version) was popular when I was about 9 or ten. I'm 60 now. What I find amazing is that when I perform "Goodnight Irene" in front of audiences consisting largely of older teens and early twenty year olds they will start singing along on the chorus after the 1st couple of times I've sang it! "The kids" will ask about the song after the show because they had never heard it before. Talk about a hook! For that reason I usuaaly have to repeat the chorus 3 or 4 times at the end! Oh, of course it sounds better on a mandolin. Everything does :) |
| Fri Oct 19 19:01:34 2007 From: Bill | You have a done a great service to fellow novice and intermediate guitar players. Please pat yourself on the back since my arms are not within reach. I have enjoyed your site Best to you and yours always. |
| Tue Oct 16 17:27:58 2007 From: R. Mc Fadden | Thank you very much for your efforts. Just started playing again after a 35-40 year hiatus and your transcripts have been very helpful and pleasurable. Plastic Jesus--best guess is Ernie Marrs and the GoldCoast Singers |
| Fri Oct 12 22:36:39 2007 From: Kendall | Hi, Wonderful site. Gleened some really fun stuff to share with the kids. I'm having trouble finding "the worm song", (Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, think I'll go eat worms...) I've found some lyrics, but no music. Any help would be welcome. Thanks, Kendall |
| Fri Oct 12 13:22:57 2007 From: Norm | Addis and Crofit was indeed a duo from the early 60's. I have an original album of theirs and have made a CD copy. The album contains great folk songs as well as the Whale song. There are other good sea going songs on the album as well. |
| Thu Oct 11 13:35:20 2007 From: Chris Ingraham | Hi Aaron. This is Dave's friend, Chris, writing from Boulder, CO. I found your website today and just wanted to say hello. Hello, then. |
| Wed Oct 10 10:47:41 2007 From: joanna | i love your site and the selection of songs. i'm a new-ish guitar player and i'm wondering if you have any hints or tips about the strumming patterns associated with your songs/chords... thanks! |
| Wed Oct 10 01:16:22 2007 From: John Gelbart | Finaly some REAL playable chords, unlike those found in chord song-books. This will certainly help me organise a great sing-along evening with some friends.I'm lucky to have stumbled upon your site, and it's already been added to my favourites. Keep adding more songs to this already amazing list. Cheers for a great effort !!! John (Kfar-Saba,Israel). |
| Tue Oct 9 05:33:29 2007 From: Alison Riggs | Fantastic collection of songs. I am teaching guitar and this will be so helpful. It's reinspired me to play a bit more and increase my repertoir Thanks for your organisation and generosity. Alison : ) |

| Sun Oct 7 08:35:02 2007 From: Johnny E. Ison | I think your sight is great. I am trying to learn the guitar and it looks like it will be easy now because these are songs that I know. It would also be more helpful if it had tablature but I think I could work from this. THANK YOU FOR THIS WEBSITE. |
| Sat Oct 6 14:42:25 2007 From: Wally Bowes | Hi there: I am just now learning guitar; come from a family of singers; now that I am a Senior and on my own; this is my hobby and am doing well (one or two hours per day).

| Sun Sep 30 00:35:42 2007 From: Dean Aarestad | My wife and I have been looking for the music and lyrics to a song in which the following is sang: "I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I got my plastic Jesus, sitting on the door of my car". I don't know the rest of it. We would be very appreciative if locate us or steer us in the right direction to obtain the music and lyrics. Thank you, Dean Aarestad |
| Fri Sep 28 22:09:58 2007 From: Glenn Anderson | This is a great site. When I started playing guitar 1960's I had to type all the words and add the chords after I figured them out over the words. This makes it really easy to sing songs. |
| Fri Sep 28 11:55:05 2007 From: Jana | I am looking for a Donavon song that goes like this sort of. Your smile is like sunlight on a gulls wing. Do you have it? If so how can I get it Thanks Jana |
| Fri Sep 28 03:10:38 2007 From: eminent anumudu | I found your site while looking up songs to play on my ukulele. Your chords are great for this. Love it!! |
| Thu Sep 27 06:50:29 2007 From: Emmie | I am so tickled to find your song postings. I have been searching for a guitar book with at least half of these songs because these are the songs my father used to play for me on his guitar when I was a child. Now as an adult, I am trying to learn these songs on my own guitar but have had trouble remembering which songs to search for, and then I have trouble finding the songs I do remember. You have them all! Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to help us all preserve such wonderful childhood memories. |
| Wed Sep 26 11:16:07 2007 From: Jack Norby | Thanks so much for all of this. I am recording soon to do a cd for my kids before I fall apart. It reminded of so many songs I used to do and can now put on the cd. A great site/service |
| Sat Sep 22 11:44:49 2007 From: Corrie McCutchen | Hey. just lookin' for Daryl McCutchen. I think he's avoiding me. :) |
| Sat Sep 22 10:03:09 2007 From: Polly | GREAT SITE. I love it. I began playing the guitar last summer, and practice everyday. I found everything I could ask for here and love that I can transpose into a key to fit my rather low (female) voice. |
| Fri Sep 21 11:40:09 2007 From: Joe | I found your site while looking up songs to play on my ukulele. Your chords are great for this. Love it!! |

| Fri Sep 14 01:48:41 2007 From: ~gem~ | Thank you for your kindness to share this songs that I thought the young generation should go back in this era of music where love is truly felt. Because its all "clean songs". I grew up in the 80's but mostly of these songs are my lullabies from my brothers and sisters. I owe to them my passion in playing guitar. And my inspiration to write my own songs. Thank you once again and God bless people like you. |
| Fri Sep 14 00:04:36 2007 From: Peter White | This is a wonderful resource. Thanks so much for organising it :-) |

| Wed Sep 5 06:13:24 2007 From: Elaine | Hi Aaron, I am Elenita. I love music and I also play simple guitar tunes. I am a Filipina but now in the UK. I had been searching for my favorite music with guitar chords. I started with Simon & Garfunkel's The Boxer ( my brother's favorite) and as I went through my search, I discovered your song page with guitar chords. I wa ecstatic because most of the songs that my brother taught me with his little guitar are all there and with chords. I am away from him...and he is terminally ill. I just want to spend my leisure hours remembering him and our happy childhood days through the songs we shared to love...mostly folk songs. He is a fantastic guitarist. I am here in the UK and he is there in the Philippines with the rest of my siblings. I emailed to just thank you for sharing your music to strangers like me. I truly appreciate it. Best regards, Elaine |
| Tue Sep 4 21:24:10 2007 From: Banjo Jack | Hi, play tenor banjo & guitar. Look forward to receiving and sending you some music, music, music... |
| Mon Sep 3 14:29:16 2007 From: Larry Ware | Hi, I think you are doing a great job on your guitar songs. Many of them (folk) I played often when I got together with friends many years ago. I developed a renewed interest recently since I became disabled and am now playing my guitar and adapting songs as I learn to play the 5 string banjo. As I surf the net I look for songs and music like what you have put here. Thanks for the words I had long forgotten. Be well and keep up the good work. |
| Sun Sep 2 15:18:16 2007 From: Billy Ringo | Dear Sir/Madam: I am a guitar player, drummer as well and write my own music. I wanted to incorporate some copy songs as well with my originals. I found your site and I was compelled to tell you that you did a Great! Job putting all these great songs together with lyrics as well as chords. I'm a drummer many years and was in pro bands. But now play a lot of acoustic electric guild guitar for I like being in front a bit. I practice 6-8 hours a day and play many places as well. With originals I have made, as well as some copies. But your site took the cake! In quality songs. That I can now have fun with as well as play for friends and places I perform. As I said I was compelled to write you and say thank you for all your hard efforts to help people like me to play songs correctly. Be well, and May God Bless. Sincerely, William Bieler My stage name is Billy Ringo. |

| Tue Aug 7 19:41:38 2007 From: chris | This is a great site, and a great compilation of all these songs, some that i havent heard in a very long time. It's also a great reference to have when preparing for a trip, as these songs are simple and really come in handy. |

| Sun Aug 5 16:21:58 2007 From: Tom | Great site! I especially enjoied the transpose feature. I transposed "There is Love" to "D". I noticed that over "gathered" in the first verse an "E" shows up. I believe it should be a "D". Keep up the nice work. I'll be back. Tom |
| Fri Aug 3 19:52:49 2007 From: nadja | hi i'm nadja and i think maybe u should make some more pages, but other-wise it's really good. You see, i have my own website a danish one coz i'm from denmark. ps. i'll come and see if there's other pages. see ya |

Love the alpha by first line feature! Also, REALLY enjoyed the stories about you vs small rodent-dom. While not from the great outdoors, I truly think I'm a hick inside. Got great big laughs from your stories. Thanks for sharing. |

I'm responsible for playing guitar for kids at a family reunion next week in California and really needed these tabs. Thank you! Brent |

| Thu Jul 5 15:33:10 2007 From: laurent | i am a french beginner , but i need some chords. Hope this site will help me |
| Mon Jul 2 22:01:25 2007 From: Larry | It is great to find a list of songs that I can print and the lyrics and chords are on the same page. Wish you had a bigger listing. I was specifically looking for the music for "Desert Pete". I am an old buzzard with only a couple of years of guitar experience. Need help. Thanks; Larry |
| Sun Jul 1 18:04:35 2007 From: stephen Mohammed | I would really appreciate if you can send me the chords/music sheet for Love Story by Andy Williams.... Thank you and keep up the great work!! |
| Sun Jul 1 13:34:39 2007 From: Gerhard Benneck | My daughter found your page with your very neat transposing tool. That is really something! Well done on creating that. We sat most of the afternoon humming the tunes I knew but my daughter didn't yet. Since she is just learning the guitar, it is very helpful. Asa clue, I found YouTube has many songs being performed and so I can find the tunes for some of them I don't know but would like to know. |
| Wed Jun 27 12:39:15 2007 From: Mary Otto | I would like to thank you for publishing all these songs and chords. They are just the thing for a hack like me who specializes in "Kum-bye-ya" guitar, and knows only a dozen chords. (Enthusiasm makes up for the poor playing - fellow campers are not picky.) |
| Tue Jun 26 15:29:10 2007 From: Ariel | I am so glad I found your site, it's the greatest one I've found so far and I don't think it will be beat! You have all my favorite, best songs to play, with the chords, AND (which really pushes your page to greatness) a transposing tool? I tell you it's the greatest! I find it hard to sing to a lot of my favorite songs but now I can make them in a comfortable key and I love you for it!! Thank you so much!! |
| Tue Jun 26 09:20:11 2007 From: Ricki | Bless you. I'm starting to play guitar at 56 and really excited to find the songs I've dreamed of playing someday. With the guitar chords there I almost died of happiness. Thank you with all my heart. My teachers younger and knows little of the songs I'm talking about. Bless you! |
| Sun Jun 24 18:29:24 2007 From: cody carnathan | found the compilation of songs very helpful. Used to sing along with my family like that. Thanks slot, keep it up. |
| Sat Jun 23 16:24:05 2007 From: Laura | Thanks for compiling these songs! I'm teaching myself to play the guitar, so I don't yet have a vast knowledge of all the chords. I need songs like these with easy chords to practice! This page is really ideal for me. |
| Sat Jun 23 09:21:17 2007 From: Jonathan | Hi Aaron, My daughter is learning to play the guitar, and she introduced me to your songlist page. Very well done, very useful to her, too. I noticed that you don't have the singer/songwriter listed for "I Ain't Marching Anymore"--this was Phil Ochs, and the song comes from his album of the same name, the first record of his to be well-known back in the day. He was an incredibly inspiring idealist at that point; his decline into despair and death came much later. Just thought I'd let you know who wrote the song. |
| Fri Jun 22 18:26:22 2007 From: brian | Very cool. Thanks |
| Tue Jun 19 06:49:06 2007 From: R.V.David | Hello friend, So happy to sign your guest book. I am from Malaysia, Shah Alam, aged 68, male and retired. I have been wanting to learn chord progressions on my keyboard and thought the net was the best place to get guides. Unfortunately besides learning theory no practical help was forthcoming. I got into your website by chance and believe me your lyrics and chords are so exhaustive and I am going to learn chord progressions using them. Thank you so very much. I appreciate the hours you would have put in to get the thing going, and the best part of it sharing it. You got a heart of gold. Thank you very much. God bless you. |
| Mon Jun 18 20:36:18 2007 From: Joe G. | Thanks for the great songs. I just took up the banjo (I'm 60) and getting to your site was like being in a wonderful sheet music store. |
| Mon Jun 18 10:10:29 2007 From: Michael G. the taxman | Thank you. I love folk music, and am trying desperately to learn to play. Your site has given me the inspiration to renew and redouble my efforts. It's hard at 50, but if you can put all these songs out there, I can certainly learn a few. Thanks again for a down home feel good site. |
| Fri Jun 15 16:53:00 2007 From: charlie | I like your site. It's very helpful and I hope you can help me with a mission of mine. One of my favorite artists, if not my most favorite, is Steve Goodman. I do several of his songs, however one of my favorites has me stumped on chords. I get the verses okay and then he loses me. The song is "When my rowboat comes in." on the CD "Affordable Art" Any help would be appriciated. Thanks |
| Wed Jun 13 12:49:19 2007 From: Neville Peake | A great collection of songs! Sorry to add another request, but I'd love to play Tom Paxton's 'When you let your long hair down'(beautiful song) but can only find lyrics - no chords! Do you happen to know the chords for this one? Thanks, and Ta-Ta from the UK |
| Mon Jun 11 10:23:20 2007 From: Heather | Your Mama must be truly marvelous. Next time you see her, please give her an extra hug from your newest fan in Minnesota and tell her I hope I can raise my son to be just like you. (Since birth, he's been sung to sleep with "August to May," and he spends quite a bit of time scheming about how to capture the chipmunks that nest in the downspouts on our front porch. So those are promising Aaron Parsons-esque traits, don't you agree?!) THANK YOU for creating this site! Finding it was like seeing an old friend. |
| Sat Jun 9 20:08:42 2007 From: bill averbach | Thanks for these reference pages. I play music and I am always looking for song lyrics. Again thanks. Please visit my site and enjoy my music. BAMusic.net/sounds |
| Sat Jun 9 10:09:00 2007 From: Kieran Mallen | The oldies are the best. Reading through your list of songs has brought back some great memories from the days of "Love and Peace Man." Great times great songs. The fact that we're still playing the same old songs has got to mean that you can't beat quality. Thanks for the site and may God bless and keep you all in your travels. p.s. Can you include Heart of Gold by Neil Young if possible. |
| Thu Jun 7 11:39:11 2007 From: chell dunne | finally a site thatmakes it easy to play my favourite songs. Any chance you could figure out Donovans to sing for you i can't find it anywhere pretty please and thank you. |
| Tue Jun 5 15:24:32 2007 From: Alan Donnelly | A nice eclectic spread of songs! What I would really like to see would be a head start on chords for "Springtime Promises" - a Pentangle song from their "Basket of Light" album. As the title implies, it follows the turning of the seasons, majoring on the promise that springtime makes of the summer to follow. Beautiful. |
| Tue Jun 5 10:19:59 2007 From: Michael Robbins | Nice selection of tunes here. I am a violinist with a Jazz group. My guitar playing and teaching is pretty basic. I teach guitar at a camp each summer. Each spring I search out EZ tunes for my students grade 2 - 9. It was nice to finally print out a copy for myself of Long Black Veil. Hey, I might even work it with the kids and completely change the words! Michael Robbins |
| Mon Jun 4 18:06:31 2007 From: Anna L | This site is great. "Changes", "Draft Dodger Rag", "I Ain't Marchin' Any More," and "What's That I Hear?" are all by Phil Ochs (who is generally terrific and still worth listening to). |
| Mon Jun 4 08:59:49 2007 From: Massimo | i just was searching for a song of Johnny Cash and encountered your Site. Very helpfull ! Thanks a lot for you work! and that you are sharing it.. |

| Wed May 30 11:24:46 2007 From: Mark Finnegan | Hi, great site:I have dozens of Dylan songs that i could send you to add, and many others as well. Also: "Four Strong Winds" - is an Ian Tyson song - "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" was written by Robbie Robertson of The Band - "For Loving Me" - in your Peter Paul and Mary listings is actually, "That's What You Get For Loving Me"...and was written by Gordon Lightfoot. |

| Mon May 28 20:09:45 2007 From: Larry Kirby | I am a songwriter, almost exclusively parodies, so I am always looking for sites that have lyrics and chords. This site has some good material, but the automatic transposal feature is too cool for words. I'm going to forward it to several friends who will really appreciate it. Thanks for the good Work |

| Sat May 26 18:16:34 2007 From: Dan Young | Thanx for the site. All songs from my youth which I can play and enjoy. I'm a pro trumpeter and play all the time. Your songlist gives my something to play for relaxation as a strictly amatuer guitarist. Well done. -Dan (0)--iii-o |

| Sun May 20 02:40:36 2007 From: Colm Kane | Hey, just thought you could improve your guitar section of your website by adding in the chord diagrams so people who are starting to learn know how to play these chords, cheers |

| Tue May 8 01:33:11 2007 From: Erica Vine | This is a great site. I'm really glad that there is somewhere I can get easy chords to songs I grew up with, especially since I'm not that advanced in my craft. Have you thought about doing an easy version of Stairway to Heaven? |
| Sun May 6 08:09:54 2007 From: antonia bee | hi there,thanks for a great site |
| Sat May 5 16:26:30 2007 From: John Solomon | I am a self-taught guitarist - not too good though and I play the guitar more as a therapy and sometime with friends and family - mostly strumming. Your fantastic website has given me so much! Thank you for all your good work. By the way, could you send me the words and chords for "On the Wings of a Dove?" Thank you once again. |
| Sat May 5 09:13:56 2007 From: John Dotson | I have been playing guitar for a few years now and have stated to play banjo. But, many songs on the net aren't relly appropriate to a novice banjo player, your is. Thank you! |
| Thu May 3 19:57:02 2007 From: Jim | Fabulous website. Great song selection. How about a version of Tennessee Ernie Ford's "Sixteen Tons"? - I'm teaching my grandikids some of these songs to keep the tradition alive. Thanks. |

| Sat Apr 21 15:24:43 2007 From: Tom in Zurich | Thanks for a marvelous site in terms of great song selection, excellent chord suggestions, and that nifty transposition gimmick that'll make me lazy. |

| Sun Apr 8 09:10:16 2007 From: Mike Burnside | I can't TELL you how much I've enjoyed all these songs. I'm barely a novice, but it sure helps when you're attempting an old favorite, and you have so many of mine! I wonder if you could find "Sweet Rosyanne"? Pete Seeger used to close his concerts with it as an audience sing-along. THANKS FOR YOUR STUFF! |
| Sun Apr 8 05:31:29 2007 From: bill | First, nice site. Second thanks Allan. Clapton is hard to just figure out by ear. Your input is great. I agree with your chords. Plug: I heard 3 bands last night. wow, nothin better than live music. Everything from haitian to 12 bar blues. Alexis, what type of music are ya lookin to play? |
| Sat Apr 7 21:18:35 2007 From: Allan Santos | Hey Aaron, Just gonna give you a little input on Bill's inquiry on the Layla acoustic. Here's how I play it...The chorus goes:Dm Bb C Dm (repeat 3x) then Dm Bb C A C to build up to the Verses. The verse goes: C#m7 G#7, C#m7 C(barre) D(barre) E E7, F#m B E A, F#m B E A. Hope this works out for you. Clapton is GOD. (Aaron, you ain't no slouch on the guitar neither...Where's the Classical Gas tab, man?) |
| Sat Apr 7 20:19:24 2007 From: Donald | Love the site lots of cool songs. For me and I am sure other too, I think it would help if you gave some strumming suggestions. |
| Fri Apr 6 14:22:27 2007 From: Tricia | Thanks for posting the chords & songs. I'm a beginner guitarist and its a great starting point for playing some familiar songs. |
| Fri Apr 6 13:46:20 2007 From: Bill | Tryin to figure out eric clapton "layla" Is chorus Dm, Bb, C, Dm ???????? Is verses Cm#, G#, Cm#, B, E, etc This song is hard to figure out but some chord progression go good with the song. I like it in dm. I want to get the verses right. any sugestion. I play with his unplugged version it seems to go good in dm and cm# etc. But I feel like I'm missing something in the song. |
| Thu Apr 5 07:48:46 2007 From: Alexis Marsh | I'm 16 and I just started playing guitar about 3 months ago.. I'm not doing too bad, but I'm looking for new songs to learn. |
| Wed Apr 4 13:41:29 2007 From: Jesse Kaisner | Aaron, You're not going to believe this, but Chris McWhorter and I were having a discussion out on my back deck the other night, and your name came up... I remembered that this site is returned upon a google search on my name (the snake in the boat story), and thought I would you up. My girlfriend and I bought a house just outside of BV about a year and a half ago. Shoot me an email, and let's exchange contact info. River season is almost here! It would be great if you were ever in CO to catch up. Jesse Kaisner |

| Wed Mar 28 22:17:41 2007 From: Donna | Hi ~ I'm just learning to play guitar from scratch... at the young age of 48!! I'm taking a Beginner class and came upon your site... I just love it! Your songs are in a much easier-to-read format than some other sites', and I just love the feature where you can transpose the song to any key with just a click. Excellent feature! I'm sharing your site with my classmates! I would love to learn Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi"... any chance you can find the time for that one to help a budding musician? |
| Tue Mar 27 15:29:23 2007 From: Tom | Thanks so much for all your work. This is a lot of fun. Say, how about a transcription of "Punky's Dilemma." By S&G. A small gem , I always thought. Thanks Again. |
| Mon Mar 26 14:57:49 2007 From: Aaron Parsons | Well, in the ongoing war against spam, I lost for about 9 months. But I'm back with a vengance with the classic "read this image" anti-spambot test. Maybe this will work? |
| Sun Jun 11 16:13:27 2006 From: Mike Higgins | What a great site you have. Your song selection and the chords are right on. I play a lot with friends at parties or campfires and this music is just perfect. Thank you very much! |
| Sun Jun 11 13:52:03 2006 From: Aaron Parsons | My apologies for the guestbook being down for so long. Spammers are getting more aggressive, and they've managed to bring down this site twice now. Meanwhile, I'm in the middle of studying for my prelims, so I haven't had time to fix things. But the newest revision of my scripts should fend them off for a little while longer... |

| Fri Apr 28 10:03:40 2006 From: Bill Daugherty | I was looking for some chords for songs and ran across your web site. It's GREAT. I've had 5 lessons and am having my 6th today. Starting to get together with a couple friends on saturday mornings who play much better than I do but still enjoying. Found so many songs here on your page that I love to play, and you built in a transposer. This is soo WICKED !!! Love it. I'm book marking your page and watching for updates. It's my kind of music; Paul Simon, The Weight by The Band, Reason to Believe by Rod Stewart. I didn't know Paul Simon wrote Red Rubber Ball; a favorite from my kid days too. Bill |
| Mon Apr 24 11:23:11 2006 From: Gerald Dunn | Thank you for this website. I am an old amateur guitar player/singer and have always had difficulty finding the words and chords for songs. I will return to this page for help from now on. |
| Fri Apr 21 07:35:55 2006 From: jacky | Awesome site! Thanks--I'm teaching my grandchildren to play--and these songs couldn't be better! I transpose everything to "G" and they are ready for the girls to play--Thanks tons! |
| Thu Apr 20 20:27:49 2006 From: Lt Cdr Spock | Finally, a site that has a format that virtually anybody can use. I also have been collecting (over 950 now)songs since 1965. My format is slightly different, and a bit more to the standard, but with my own little style. So far, everyone has loved them. Been looking for someplace to share them. If you're interested in WP or JPG files of my songs, let me know. I can always send a sample. |

| Wed Apr 5 10:37:55 2006 From: Rex Ward | Good selection of classics. I have looked all over for "Ain't It The Fall" by Starland Vocal Band. I even e-mailed Bill Danoff, but he doesn't even know where to get it, unless you get lucky on e-bay. Hope you can help. Thanks. |
| Mon Apr 3 03:12:27 2006 From: Ken Chen | Great site ***** |
| Sun Apr 2 21:33:52 2006 From: Ray Lewis | What a great site! Have it bookmarked on favourites for over two years now, and often come sit by the computer to 'twang' a few oldies that I can reminisce to. Thanks for your efforts. R |
| Sat Apr 1 20:44:55 2006 From: john Bogard | have you figured out Steve Goodman's 'Would you like to learn to dance'? If so, would you send me the lyrics and chords. Thanks. J |
| Sat Apr 1 20:41:16 2006 From: john Bogard | Thank you. I've been a strummer for 30 years and it's great to find your site. Almost like sitting together and sharing how to play a song. |
| Sat Apr 1 18:17:14 2006 From: Chris M | Great site. Easy to follow transcriptions to some of the best songs of all time. Just thought I'd let you know "When The Ship Comes In" is written by Bob Dylan. |
| Fri Mar 31 11:34:18 2006 From: Jim Shook | What a blessing. I bought a guitar after 35 years of not playing and have found some songs, with chords, that I can relate to. I enjoy your efforts very much. I really am blessed. I hope that God blesses you for this. Oh, in case your were wondering, I am 72 years old. |

| Sat Mar 25 16:43:53 2006 From: Marvin Hudson | I'm impressed with the all of the great folk songs this site provides. The beloved songs are very much a part of me.The ease of instantly transposing the lyrics opens up a brand new way to find the range that best suits my voice and challenging me to learn more unfamiliar chords. Please consider including John Hartfords Gentle On My Mind in your song index. Thanks so much, Marvin |

| Sat Mar 18 06:29:33 2006 From: D. Seabrook | Teaching my daughter to sing "I've Been Working On The Railroad." Stumbled onto your site and I am amazed at how cool this is. My family played or sang most of these songs when I was growing up. Theo Bikel, Ian & Sylvia, Chad Mitchell Trio all a big part of my musical life. This is great. And the transcription (modulation) engine is really nifty. Nice job! |

Also on Swing Low. when it says A band of angels comin after me. That should be a F over comin. Thanks again for the swell page. |
| Thu Jan 12 15:27:22 2006 From: Linda | I just love your page, I just found it. I am playing piano with cords and this is just what I was looking for. Fun, fun,fun. I just have a question. What does it mean when you wrote -G7. It didn't sound right. Thanks again for the great page. |

| Tue Jan 3 07:27:41 2006 From: gail lutz | Gee, really takes me back - and I mean BACK... to the '60s does your selection of songs. I put my guitar away when I "grew up" and am now dusting it off in preparation for retirement! (but it has to compete with the dulcimer I receives for Christmas) Anyway, you have been a God-send with selections and chords (reasonably simple -ouch!my fingers hurt!), and this will be a huge time saver. I am looking for an obscure Joan Baez ballad about "...Today there were four Marys; tonight there'll be but three; there was Mary Beaton, Mary Seaton, Mary Carmichael and me..." can you help? |

Thank you for providing words and chords to those i have forgotten. -Kimberly |

The only bad thing is I spent the next 2 hours getting some of the greatest songs ever for an acoustic show that I do in Arizona, USA. Now all I have to do is learn the songs. God Bless you for all the time you have spent putting such great classics in view. Peace and Love, Adagio. |

I notice you have "I'm in Love with a Big Blue Frog", a wonderful song done by Peter Paul and Mary, on your list. Try as I might, I cannot find who actually wrote this piece. Any ideas? I am thinking maybe Peter or Paul, but I find nothing on line. Thanks for a terrific site! Phil (OH! Please put "PPnM song" In the subject line if you write back. That will make sure it is not "junk". Thanks. - P |
| Sat Dec 10 11:08:11 2005 From: Steve | I love your site! I'm just learning to play, only about a month now.

Great collection, lots of good ones that bring back great memories. Thanks |

| Tue Nov 29 16:26:33 2005 From: judy mussett | Debbie Upshaw I didn't know Jimmie Rodgers wrote "Frankie and Johnnie", thanks. It would be interesting to see how many versions of this song there actually is. I do , and have heard, many versions! More than a lot of the other classic folk songs where evryone puts their own version forward. It can get confusing but is very interesting and, I find, exciting. Judy M |
| Mon Nov 28 19:01:16 2005 From: andres | Yo brothers! Good site ;) Thaks ;) |
| Mon Nov 28 15:43:21 2005 From: Debbie Upshaw | I happened upon your site as I was looking for lyrics to "Streets of Laredo." I printed several of the songs you have, and noticed that the words you have to "Frankie and Johnnie" are different from what I had heard. I have a Jimmie Rodgers (the writer of the song) recording of it from 1929, and some of the words (whole verses) are different. Wondered where you got the lyrics posted on your site? Not criticizing, just curious. |

| Fri Oct 28 17:05:20 2005 From: wayne howard | I enjoy this site. I am wondering if you have of the old hymns transposed? IF SO PLEASE PUT THEM ON THIS SITE. |
| Fri Oct 28 16:33:49 2005 From: Karen Wegner | I enjoy your web site and found several songs I had been looking for. Thank you. Have you ever heard the song "I'll meet you on the other side of Jordan" sung by June Carter Cash and Johnny Cash on June's CD? I cannot find the words or cords for it. |
| Fri Oct 28 09:33:49 2005 From: Ray Albrektson | Way to go, Aaron! I'm a new ukulele player and am supposed to lead a "sing-along" at some kind of party my wife and her friends cooked up and your site is going to save my bacon. Thanks again. Now I live in fear that it will go away--you wouldn't be willing to make a zip archive available for humble leeches like me, would you? Blessings again! |
| Thu Oct 27 06:31:43 2005 From: Mary | First of all --- thanks for the really nice job you did on the songs. We entertain lots at retirement homes and some of these songs will be helpful. I also want to ask you about GOODNIGHT IRENE. It was written by HUDDIE LEDBETTER but I did not see the name there. I know your chords were written for the guitar but they work great for the autoharp as well. |
| Wed Oct 26 10:57:29 2005 From: Susan Gordon-Clark | I LOVE THIS SITE - and you are brilliant as well. Just discovered one little flaw. I transposed a Times they are a Changin' up 2 which is 4 1/2 steps into the key of A Sharp- I do not prefer sharps so it changed to B flat - however, when I tried to print it, it reverted to the A sharp version not the B flat. Can you correct that one tiny flaw?? Hope so cause this site is terrific otherwise! |

| Mon Oct 24 14:11:09 2005 From: Dave E. | Thank you!! I am a very occasional guitar player and just gave my 13 year old daughter her first guitar. I was looking for a songbook that had a collection of fun, classic and easy to learn and play songs and your compilation is just what I was looking for. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I'm sure it will prove to be a valuable resource as my daughter and I work through the songs together. |
| Sun Oct 23 20:47:21 2005 From: laymon tunstall | Thanks for all the good songs !!! I have been trying to find a song chords and lyrics called How do You Do by mouth an mcneil if you know it it would be great thanks laymon |
| Sun Oct 23 06:07:25 2005 From: D Brown | email was wrong from previous submission, this is correct. i'd lo ve to hear the song somehow. |
| Sun Oct 23 06:06:22 2005 From: D Brown | Hi there, I was just wondering if you had a link to the tune of Springhill Mine Disaster somewhere. I seen the guitar chords to lyrics oon the site. I don't think I ever heard this song. I'm living about an hour away from this town. I'm interested in hearing the song. |
| Fri Oct 21 09:19:27 2005 From: Richard Thaler | I found your site while looking for info about hiking with dogs in Big Sur. Could you tell me more about that hike you did in Ventana Wilderness? Where is the trail head and how do I get to it? Or, can you send me to a site that has more details? thanks |
| Fri Oct 21 03:49:40 2005 From: Gary | Great website - thanks for sharing! I have a few suggested changes for Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter. On the refrain that starts, "But its sad,she doesn't love me now" it seems to me that the chords Am, C, Am, G work better than F, C, F, G. Similarly on the next line, I would replace the F with an Am. |

| Sat Oct 15 19:25:14 2005 From: J.B. | I appreciate the time and effort you put into this. I have been trying to find the chords to "Turn Around" by the Kingston Trio. Would you consider adding that you your site? Again, thanks for the site. For a beginnerlike me, it has been a great help. |
| Thu Oct 13 21:37:08 2005 From: JAMES RIEDE | GREAT SITE!!! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE CHORDS TO 'ODEN' SINCE ABOUT 1966 SINCE I FIRST HEARD THE SONG BY PETER AND GORDON!!! THANK YOU FOR THE CHORDS!!! WOULD YOU KNOW ANY OF THE NOTES???? HOW ABOUT ANY SONGS FROM DONOVAN LIKE CATCH THE WIND AND OR COLORS!!!!THANK YOU AGAIN YOUR SITE IS FANTASTIC!!! OH, ONE MORE REQUEST: EVER HEARD THE SONG AND/OR HAVE THE CHORDS TO'WEARY HOBO' JAMES!!! |
| Thu Oct 13 13:12:13 2005 From: Blake | Great site! I'm still learning the basics of guitar, and I really like the easy-to-play format. I'm a folk fan, so I love this music - and I appreciate the Gordon Lightfoot songs, he's my favorite :) |
| Thu Oct 13 10:02:05 2005 From: Sniffy | I think I have figured out the chords and a picking style for "The Big Rock Candy Mountains" (from O' Brother Where Art Thou?) but if you have any info I'd love to hear it. P.S... Your web site is great, keep it coming! |
| Wed Oct 12 22:49:17 2005 From: Allan Santos | Sorry Aaron, but I took advantage of your practice absence by logging all my games on the ladder. Someone had to stop your probably 1 year reign on top and this is probably the only way I know how. |
| Wed Oct 12 03:43:04 2005 From: Mac | I love your site! Most of the songs are correct (no matter what a few are saying) and transcribed for very easy use. I especially LOVE the transposing feature. Now I can have the chords listed in the way I play them (eg with capo...) or have them transposed to fit, what my lead-guitarist insists on playing... Thanks and keep it up! |
| Tue Oct 11 07:06:50 2005 From: Musician | Have been playing the guitar for over 25 years - this site is rubbish! Why? Because all the chords are wrong! |
| Tue Oct 11 01:38:30 2005 From: abana jr | thanks for ur mind |
| Sat Oct 8 13:38:39 2005 From: Dave Christoffersen | My-O-My what a fine sight indeed to see these fine tunes listed in usable fashion....to simply view the list of titles has the power to put one in a state of revery reminiscent of a more kindly and benificent time. Thank you. |
| Sat Oct 8 12:08:22 2005 From: Sandy | Great site, I was wondering if you have the chords for an Amy Grant song called Helping Hand? Thanks |
| Thu Oct 6 21:33:46 2005 From: Ellery | ps Happy New Year |
| Thu Oct 6 21:16:24 2005 From: Ellery | Dear Aaron, Thank you so much. So many songs I remember from my youth, how nice of you to provide this. You wouldnt' remember this song "Reach out in the darkness" but it's been on my mind alot lately. "I knew a man that I did not care for, and then one day, that man gave me a call. We sat and talked about things on our mind, and now that man he is a friend of mine." I never would have thought the 70's were innocent at the time, but looking back I realize how we really were. Good luck young man. |
| Tue Oct 4 19:53:06 2005 From: Jason | Wow- great thing with the guitar chords. Especially the transpose feature - brilliant! Keep up the good work. (And don't be afraid to add more songs =) ) [stumbled upon your website whilst looking for traditional folk music chords] |
| Tue Oct 4 18:24:58 2005 From: Jo-Anne | Hi Aaron, Did you ever find the lyrics to Prism Song by Gale Garnett? I found a link to your guestbook on Google. I'm looking for the lyrics too. |
| Tue Oct 4 12:13:17 2005 From: George Riley | Thanks for the words and chords for all the songs. I downloaded all your ".txt" files, reformatted for latex, and made a nice 200+ page songbook with TOC and index. Email if you want a copy (I couldn't find your email anywhere..good job hiding from spammers) |
| Mon Oct 3 15:36:58 2005 From: Shirley Parsons (Aaron's Mom) | Sorry, Helen, but I am not familiar with "Dunderbeck's Machine." |
| Sun Oct 2 08:21:07 2005 From: Diane Moore | I love your website. I'm just taking guitar lessons (I'm 44--teaching an old dog and all that), and your songs are so easy to follow since I know most of the chords. Anyway, if you get the time, I would love to have the words and chords to "Drops of Jupiter" by Train, and "Mad World" by Gary Jules. Thanks very much. Diane |
| Tue Sep 27 20:45:01 2005 From: eugenio m | i would like to know and learn about your guitar tabs and chords |
| Tue Sep 27 20:21:18 2005 From: Julia | This compilation of songs and chords is incredible. The printable versions, the transposing into different key, and the awesome song selection all add to how great it is. Thank you so much! |
| Tue Sep 27 02:25:44 2005 From: Elma | FANTASTIC!!I live in France and sing in a choral group!They like to sing songs in English as well as French.This is a brilliant site and I am off to practise Sound of Silence on my guitar so we can sing it at the next session!! My four year old son Jack now sings along to songs that I sung with my Dad!Great memories!Thankyou. |
| Sun Sep 25 00:12:44 2005 From: rs | GREAT SITE!!!!! |
| Wed Sep 21 17:04:25 2005 From: Howard Mintzefr | I bought my first guitar last Christmas. My goal was to be able to play some of the folk and simple rock music for myself and to my grandkids. Your site has really filled that goal for me....Thanks so much |
| Wed Sep 21 15:50:10 2005 From: George W. Randall | Incredible! I just bought my first guitar and am learning to play. These songs are just what I need to learn. Thank you! |
| Mon Sep 19 12:28:40 2005 From: Bill Connell | What a great site. What impresses me the most is the transposition capability. Is this a computer program which one would be able to obtain? Or is it something you programed? Would appreciate what you could share with me. Regards, Bill Connell |
| Sun Sep 18 22:35:10 2005 From: anna | WOW! Every song I sang when I was young! I'm so excited to find this site...works great on the ukulele. Thanks for all the work. |
| Sun Sep 18 16:31:56 2005 From: rebelias | A great and helpful site! FYI...."Reason To Believe" was written by the late, great Tim Hardin. It was popularized by Rod Stewart (and others) but I assume you wish to gve due credit where it is due. |
| Sat Sep 17 05:41:57 2005 From: Aurelio | Thank you very much for all that you have done. As a beginning guitar player for twenty five years, you have done more to help. |
| Fri Sep 16 22:31:00 2005 From: Ted Herr | Great site! I used to have a collection of songs like this, and somehow they apparently went to the same place baseball cards go to to die. I'm starting to rebuild my collection, and am "totally jazzed" about finding your collection. Thanks! |
| Fri Sep 16 21:48:20 2005 From: geordy | Thanks |
| Wed Sep 14 14:01:04 2005 From: Mike Smith | I'm looking for the chords,lyrics, and tuning for Steve Goodman's fantastic blues version of the old gospel standard "I'll Fly Away." Steve did it in slide guitar style and an open tuning of some sort. What ever it was, it was great guitar. Typical Steve Goodman!! Thanks, Mike |
| Wed Sep 14 01:08:47 2005 From: White Wolf | Heard a Dylan tune on the muzak today! Thanks for posting the tunes. Lot of street tunes on this list! BTW- All Simon and Garfunkel tunes are post Garfunkel tunes in my opinion. I think Paul said it all when he said "Garfunkel is a pain in the a#@! |
| Fri Sep 9 19:48:26 2005 From: Helen | Hey -- great site. Thanks! My Dad used to sing a song about "Dunderbeck's machine." It was quite gruesome -- "those kitten cats and long tail rats no more will they be seen -- they're all ground up to sausage meat in Dunderbeck's machine." Gruesome, but we loved it as kids. Unfortunately, that's the only line I remember, and my friends are getting really tired of hearing me repeat it. Could you please ask your Mom if she knows the rest of the words? Your Mom and my Dad seem to have much the same repertoire. Many thanks. |
| Wed Sep 7 22:43:06 2005 From: Willliam F. Stephens | Just to let you know, the song "Duncan" is a post-Simon and Garfunkel chune by Paul Simon. |
| Thu Sep 1 12:22:35 2005 From: Ian | My Daughter recently took up the guitar. I myself played many moons ago, so I decided to pick it up again to play along with her lessons(someone else).I found a lot of old songs and chords on your site that my brothers and I played together. Thanks for a job well done. Ian |

| Wed Aug 24 19:26:58 2005 From: John Newland | I heard the word "Flocinaucinihilipiliphication" when I was a senior in high school in 1961 and we were encouraged (forced?) to learn a new word every week. How about Neumonalultramicroscopicvolcanokineosis |
| Sat Aug 20 21:12:48 2005 From: W. D Wallis | Just wanted to thank you for running a site like this. |

| Wed Aug 10 18:33:26 2005 From: Ray G:) | Thanks for the website.You did a great job with setting it up. A good listing of folk songs and the transposer feature is an awesome idea. I look forward to printing some of these songs for some of my Coffeehouse gigs I play at. Gracias..Thank you :) |

| Mon Aug 8 13:38:17 2005 From: Janice Brodowsky | Hey Aaron! Your site is terrific! Your Mom sounds like a cool lady, and I have a feeling she and I are about the same age judging from the songs she has collected. So many of these songs bring back memories of summer camp (many moons ago)where I used to play lots of these folk songs for the kids. Thanks for all of your hard work! -Janice |
| Sun Aug 7 22:03:49 2005 From: Kate | Excellent. This has saved me a TON of research. I am a music therapist, and with the "boomers" getting older, I can no longer get by on just "wartime" songs anymore. Plus - I enjoy the songs myself! Kate |

| Fri Aug 5 19:57:05 2005 From: Carrie | Great Site, Many Thanks! Would either you or your Mom know any Melanie songs/chords. I've looked, cannot find. Beautiful People, Animal Crackers, Brand New Key? Appreciation and Blessings |
| Fri Aug 5 07:58:55 2005 From: Chris | Thanks for doing this--I've been trying to find sing-along songs as I'm learning to play and your site is a goldmine. The transposer is amazing, too. Nice work! |

| Sat Jul 16 15:47:12 2005 From: Gus | I just found your site today with a Google search of "guitar sing along". Wow! Thanks for such a great site! The song list is awesome and the transposer is THE COOLEST thing. I know it must have took a lot of time and effort to get all of the songs to work with it. It's much appreciated. The rest of your site is very cool too. |
| Wed Jul 13 14:28:15 2005 From: Cory | I would like to learn how to play "Here without you" by three doors down, however I am not experienced enough to play the chords involved in the key my friend plays in, and seeing how your site has the increase/decrease key feature, maybe i could use that to figure out a key i can play in. |
| Sat Jul 9 05:14:03 2005 From: Stefan | Great Collection! Thanks mate! |
| Thu Jul 7 10:46:20 2005 From: Aaron Parsons | I was indeed doing maintainence today. I just got done adding the coolest feature ever: A transposer! You can now bump the songs up and down by half-steps using a form at the bottom of the page. By the way, two days ago we hit one million song downloads! |
| Thu Jul 7 10:38:02 2005 From: dan Lee | Today my your music page wouldn't link to the songs, and I realized how much I like your selection of music. It's a great practice page. Thank you for posting it. Hope you're just doing maintenance today! : ) |
| Thu Jul 7 01:09:00 2005 From: Dan Wenger | Your site is great!! Like others I read below, I've loked at quite a few sites for songs I like to play. You have many songs I ahven't been able to find anywhere else. On your page by artist listings you have ? marks by several songs. Are you looking for singing artist or the writer of the song? I know for sure that the writer & singer of the following songs was John Denver: I'm Sorry; Mathew; and Goodbye Again! The MTA and Tom Dooley were sung by The Kingston Trio. |

| Fri Jul 1 12:47:21 2005 From: Dee | THIS IS GREAT!!!!!I have been searching all over for some of these songs, and can't find them anywhere! My husband and I play and sing for nursing homes and these are just what we need. Still can't find a couple of songs tho. If you have the chords to the songs, A Place in the choir, (all god's critters) and The Blue-tailed Fly, that would be more than great~ lol, thank you so much for putting these up!!! |

I wish you and your friend the best. I hope you'll get married some day to make that loving commitment to each other. Frank |
| Sat Jun 25 18:14:23 2005 From: Jerry | Very nice site! It is always interesting to see how others play the songs I enjoy. The printable version for each song is great. Keep up the good work. |
| Sun Jun 19 04:57:33 2005 From: wayne | I think one of the most unusual words to ever be conjoured up is gynotikolobomassophile.on the lighter side if you like this try for douglas adams book meaning of liff. |

| Thu May 26 06:40:42 2005 From: Pat Harris | Thanks so much for the words & chords. I have a 14 and 11 year old who love to hear me sing & play and this will increase my repetoire of some of the songs I grew up with and can pass on to them. My best to you. |
| Wed May 25 14:34:45 2005 From: Brock Wolf | Aaron, Just a quick note to inform you (if you didn't already know) that everyone's favorite television commercial-maker, Geico, has created an entire ad campaign around the word flocinaucinihilipiliphication. I find this a tremendous development in the history of not only the advertising medium, but also in the annals of Western Civilization - certainly the biggest development since you decided to update this site to include Survivor. |

| Tue May 17 08:43:11 2005 From: Aaron Parsons | As described on the "read about it" link on the guitar page, a '%' means: "play the same chord". |
| Mon May 16 12:33:16 2005 From: Tom Dixon | Love the site! Thanks so much for all the fine songs. I'm puzzeled by the use of % in the chording. What does it mean? |
| Sun May 15 13:33:28 2005 From: Joanne | I'm just another person who wants to say thanks for the great songs. What a great blessing! |
| Sat May 14 12:46:13 2005 From: Neal | Just stumbled on your site what a breath of fresh air fantastic thanks Neal From Shropshire England |
| Fri May 13 22:40:53 2005 From: Uday Shankar | Dear Aaron, Your spirit of leaving every thing interesting you do in your site for some one who can understand to appreciate, get back to you or use it, is both a novel and a noble idea. I wish you all the best With lots of cheers Uday |

| Sun May 1 17:48:35 PDT 2005 From: Aaron Parsons | So I've updated the site a little bit recently. The most notable changes are: I added 'Survivor - Eye of the Tiger' I transposed the following songs into more friendly keys: Eagles - Hotel California, The Band - The Weight, Gordon Lightfoot - Early Mornin' Rain, and Counting Crows - Omaha. I edited the display program to be a little smarter for formatting to your screen. |

| Mon Apr 25 21:45:49 PDT 2005 From: Reid | Hey bro! Thanks for linking a little tid bit about my thesis work on your website. Now when 'Reid Parsons' is googled your link gets the #1 hit!! |
| Mon Apr 25 14:35:53 PDT 2005 From: Lis | I would hazard a guess that your mother is a similar age to me and has a very similar taste/early influences in music. I sing, don't play, but like having the chords anyway. Tell her there's a woman living in England who likes her list! I know almost all of it. Thanks for making it available. |
| Mon Apr 25 05:30:12 PDT 2005 From: Liz | You're fantastic,you have exactly my taste in music. After I buttered you up, do you happen to have the chords to A Hard Rain's a Gonna fall or did I miss it completely? (In case you don't, I think it starts off D) |
| Fri Apr 22 16:58:04 PDT 2005 From: Ali | Just wanted to say thank you. I had a number of these songs many moons ago but with the buzyness of motherhood and move from my old homestead after the big "D"... all were left behind....I am back...Thank you so much! |
| Fri Apr 22 06:18:41 PDT 2005 From: Pascal Menezes | Excellent effort and a service to people who like to learn the Guitar. My son, Clarence, is now learning to play using your chords. Thanks and continue the good work. |
| Thu Apr 21 10:21:52 PDT 2005 From: Loki | oh yea! love the ease & availability of lyrics here. Been looking for the words/music for 2 songs in particular - Think you'd like em too, fun to sing! Fishing for Chickens, don't know who wrote it but it's from the 1930's. The other one is Called The Last Sasscatchewan Pirate by the Arrogant Worms- a late 1990's tune I believe. Keep on singin all!

| Sun Mar 27 17:50:01 PST 2005 From: Steve Namenye | When I was a kid, my older brother (8 yrs older than me) had some Peter, Paul and Mary records. I remember listening to a funny song about a Big Blue Frog. Remembering it this week, I just did a search for the song lyrics and found it on your site. Thanks for such a cool collection... I've printed a bunch of "oldies" tonight (instead of working)! Thanks! |
| Sat Mar 26 15:29:17 PST 2005 From: Simple | I began to teach myself guitar again 2 1/2 years ago and have done fairly well.(My evaluation.) The first time was 40years prior and if I had stayed with it I might have been pretty good by now but can't go back in time. As you might guess I like things Simple and have been glad to find your site. |
| Thu Mar 24 10:47:26 PST 2005 From: B. Johnson | I'm looking for a site that I can get words and guitar chords, can you help? |
| Thu Mar 24 07:11:16 PST 2005 From: Al | I have recently started playing my guitar again after dusting off 25 years of dust.In those days it was not so easy to find songs to play without purchasing song books.Thanks for posting your guitar songs. |

| Mon Mar 21 09:07:24 PST 2005 From: dustin | Nice and thought filled site you've got here!... |
| Thu Mar 17 20:43:29 PST 2005 From: cliff | Cool site dude! If you feel like transcriping more, how about a few more Beatles songs and maybe some straight blues numbers. |
| Thu Mar 17 14:13:45 PST 2005 From: Scot | Hey Aaron - What a great site. Thanks for taking the trouble. Mainstream songs are pretty accessible on the internet. But it's the obscure ones you have to work at and you've just given me the short cuts on several that I've been looking for. Thanks - and thank your mother for me too! :-) |
| Wed Mar 16 07:03:11 PST 2005 From: Brad Aylett | I have picked away at teaching myself the guitar for years. Still only up to about ten or 12 chords but its people like you who take the time for us with limited time to learn to feel like we are accomplishing something. I don't want to be a Rock Star only feel like one after ten minutes of playing along with a recording that you have transcribed. I may send you a song or two to simplify for me. Thanks again. |
| Tue Mar 15 22:54:20 PST 2005 From: Tony Rewita | kia ora, from Aotearoa (land of the long white cloud) or on the world atlas as New Zealand. Anyway all I wanted to do thanx very much for an awesome site it's really good to strum along again to all those great tunes that we all sung along to at sometime or another KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! |
| Tue Mar 15 13:36:05 PST 2005 From: Donna Reed | I love you song books. Lots of my favorites. Would love to see "She talks to Angels" in a simplified version. Thanks. |
| Tue Mar 15 07:33:43 PST 2005 From: Shamus Fahy | Well done - what a great list of songs, I was after 'There but for fortune' but found a whole lot more. God bless for taking the trouble and lets' all keep singing. |
| Sun Mar 13 19:34:40 PST 2005 From: Kevin | Hey you have a great song data base and its even easy to read and understand!!....top marks....I also stumbled across this and haven't stopped learning songs....I'm a beginer and this is perfect for me....a very big thanks from Australia! |
| Thu Mar 10 18:30:31 PST 2005 From: Manny Hilado | Great site for folk songs and sing alongs. I stumbled across it just in time; well, i'm 61 years old and used to love singing along with Peter Paul & Mary, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, John Denver songs. Your site has lots of those... I'm getting back to guitar playing and singing those songs. So its great to have a site like yours. I also looked into your website. Hmmm. Outdoors and SETI, ha. Interesting. If ever you think of visiting the Philippines, i might be of help. Or if you're just interested in emailing and getting to know somebody from this part of the planet. By the way, aside from folksinging i also play frisbee, fly kites, twist balloons, read Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry, have a black labrador. Oh.., I'm a school teacher, semi-retired... had a chance to visit the USA and did some whitewater rafting in the Colorado river. |
| Wed Mar 9 20:59:32 PST 2005 From: Jujube | Thanks so much for taking me back to the 60's when I began to play guitar as a child. I lost my sheet music and couldn't find these songs to share with my daughter and her Girl Scout Troop. I'm now sure that they will enjoy our campingtrips even more, I know I will! |
| Tue Mar 8 16:05:31 PST 2005 From: Bernie Moffatt | Great Site!! I have been playing guitar since 1964 and started out playing folk songs. Quite a few songs here that I had forgotten. RE: Puff The Magic Dragon. The second chord (when you sing "dragon") should be the relative minor. In this case Em. Try transposing to the key of G (therefore that second chord will be Bm) and you will find a real pleasing sound. Keep up the good work!!! |
| Tue Mar 8 07:30:42 PST 2005 From: Bob Carnduff | Like your site and found it a good help to someone like myself who due to where I live ( Turkish Republic Of Northern Cyprus ) finds it difficult to get songbooks in english. Thanks |
| Fri Mar 4 20:40:49 PST 2005 From: Paul Anderson | I absolutely LOVE your site. After searching fruitlessly low these many moons for lyrics and guitar chords to help a few friends ( and a kid or two ) play some of the good old songs we used to know, I am tickled to find I'm not alone. Two requests; 1) words & lyrics for 'A Man & a Woman' ( When hearts are beating in the night... ) Not U2. 2) Ain't Misbehavin' -- Fats Waller. Thanks for your attention. Keep up the great work! |
| Fri Mar 4 12:23:49 PST 2005 From: Joe | I am looking for words and music on "Creators of Rain" by Ian & Sylvia. Help if you can. Enjoyed your variety of songs. GreAt Job. Joe |
| Tue Mar 1 00:58:26 PST 2005 From: Joemar Pangilinan | I like his song |
| Mon Feb 28 22:00:22 PST 2005 From: lj | What a strange and interesting collection. I never imagined I'd find a list containing "Frank Mills" and "Matthew" (John Denver - right?) and other songs I hadn't thought of in years! Also I have been running the SETI screen saver for several years. Another coincidence of the times we live in. The "twilight zone" is here, folks! Keep up the good work! I was actually out looking for Steve Goodman songs - do you know a good site for a beginner to find chords for his songs? Anyone? |
| Sun Feb 27 18:09:00 PST 2005 From: Nancy | Great Site! In 'Matthew' I use Am instead of C and I think it sounds better... just a sugg. But this is an awesome site with printable versions and such.. mad props. |
| Sat Feb 26 18:01:10 PST 2005 From: Brian Krebs | you killed a squirrel man. I can't believe you did that shit. I live in Idaho. On the outskirts of the metropolitian city of North Fork; which has at least 3 people living in it in winter. In summer it is a place for odd folk like you. they raft and do fun things like hike and - and- take pictures of the squirrels. You like that wouldn't you. Unsuspecting squirrels. stop by and say hello. |
| Fri Feb 25 10:30:52 PST 2005 From: charlie | I am looking for a chart that has the use of a capo to change the key of the song. If you can help me out please e mail |
| Fri Feb 25 05:25:50 PST 2005 From: DLefko | Thanks for doing this. I have a collection of songs that I started collecting 35 years ago - long before internet searches for chords and lyrics made our labours much easier. I've got over 600 songs now typed in as Word docs -- and only a few hundred more of my old hand written (lift up the needle and write) pages to go.... But, of course, your page saved me some time and effort. Thanks for Sweet Sir Galahad. That's the one I was looking for when I found your page. Cheers, DLefko |
| Thu Feb 24 13:32:59 PST 2005 From: Jim Dannettell | Thanks for all the work with the songs. |

| Sat Feb 12 02:43:37 PST 2005 From: Ryan Moore | Thank you so much... I'm 17 and it's kind of hard to find people who like folk music. I especially appreciate the Irish Rovers/celtic stuff. Good work! Quick question: Are your songs mostly accurate to the original key as recorded? Or are they transposed to make them more singable for most people? Or just the "simplified" ones? Anyways, good work and keep it up! |
| Mon Feb 7 15:45:16 PST 2005 From: Shells | Peace and Blessings be to you this day. I appreciate all the guitar chords as I am learning to play. +JMJ+ |

| Sat Jan 29 21:47:25 PST 2005 From: shockwave | from where i came from, the tunes you have in your site are truly cherished and appreciated. One suggestion of mine would be to add plucking technique or tablature to get that perfect folk/country guitar accompaniment. i always find it hard so i just strum them. would luv to start finger-picking! Anyway, thanks for all the effort and keep up the good work! |
| Fri Jan 28 23:01:45 PST 2005 From: merrit | Thanks for all the easy song chords! I can't play those "fancy" ones, so your site has helped me to enjoy playing my guitar more. God bless, Merrit |
| Sat Jan 22 15:23:40 PST 2005 From: Jay Angerer | Your site ROCKS! The format of your songs and the way they print out kicks. Thank you so much for your hard work. Most sites have a bunch of drawings of chords. This saves a lot of time. "I'll be back" |

| Sun Dec 19 14:15:02 PST 2004 From: Dan | This is the one I was looking for. Wednesday Morning 3 a.m. Verse1 ------ C Am F Em I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love, C Dm G As she lies here beside me asleep with the night C Am F Em And her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow C Dm F G C Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight Verse2 ------ C Am F Em She is soft she is warm but my heart remains heavy, C Dm G As I watch as her breasts gently rise, gently fall. C Am F Em For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving, C Dm F G C And tonight will be all I have left to recall. Verse3 ------ C Am F Em Oh what have I done, why have I done it, C Dm G I've committed a crime, I have broken the law. C Am F Em For twenty five dollars and pieces of silver, C Dm F G C I held up and robbed a hard liquor store. Verse4 ------ C Am F Em My life seems unreal, my crime an illusion, C Dm G A scene badly written in which I must play. C Am F Em And I know as I gaze at my young love beside me, C Dm F G C The morning is just a few hours away. |
| Sun Dec 19 12:55:55 PST 2004 From: Dan | Happy Holidays to you and your family. Was thinking of getting out the old guitar with my family this Christmas and was looking for some lyrics and chords.

| Sat Dec 11 21:21:53 PST 2004 From: J McCormick | This is the web at its best. Excellent assortment of songs with the chord changes throughout the entire lyric. I'm glad to have found this resource and look forward to using it often. Thanks! |
| Sat Dec 4 13:19:51 PST 2004 From: Tom Crimer | Thanks for all the effort and the great page. I am an upright bassist and it is so great to find such great tunes already laid out. I have a question though: Do you recall what key you transposed and wrote Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson" in? I am not sure if i am on the same page. If you know the answer and get the chance, please respond via my email adress. Thanks for the great site! |
| Fri Dec 3 03:03:04 PST 2004 From: Karen | thanks for this site - great help when you are learning 'cos you put the chords all the way through the verses, not just on the first one. Makes it much easier. How about "Matthew" by John Denver? (Had an uncle name of Matthew Was his father's only boy....) |
| Tue Nov 30 12:52:25 PST 2004 From: Sat Bir Kaur Khalsa | Thanks for all this beautiful music...really appreciate the effort. How about Summertime...many people sing this song. Summertime and the living is easy... etc. again thanks!!! |

| Fri Nov 12 08:44:53 PST 2004 From: LordZeigFred | Nice choice of songs! I miss these stuff coz these songs are the ones that inspired me to sing and pluck my guitar. These songs are the first songs i've mastered and u made it so simple and easy. More love songs please.....thankz! |
| Wed Nov 10 14:55:16 PST 2004 From: Dina | I thought I'd forgotten most of these songs, but I haven't. I have chords and a strum to Donna, Donna for Ricky Chan if she hasn't yet found them. I didn't know it was Joan Baez, thanks. Aaron, I have a simple letter notation for the tunes if you want to ask me about it. I sometimes need the first note at least to get the tune started in that key, when I think I know the tune but don't, really. I've been teaching my grandson guitar this year, as well as his mother/my daughter. She wants the tune to Red Rubber Ball if you could. Thanks, Dina |
| Tue Nov 9 10:11:36 PST 2004 From: Bob Michael | Your great site has been a joy. I have been reinventing the wheel. You've done it even better. I went to college with a bunch of ex pates. We used to sing in the Munich beer halls (54-55) just voices. The song I'm interested in Has a chorus that begins Her Mother never Told Her, The things a young girl should know. I've never seen it written nor seen it in a web site. I've been doing the song on the accordian and ukulele.3/4 time. The song is a medley of songs and melodies all tied together by the chorus. If you have any info or are interested let me know. |
| Mon Nov 8 21:11:18 PST 2004 From: Don Lewis | Thanks for the guitar music. Do you know anyone from the Boulder area who might consider talking about SETI to a non-technical group? Thanks |

| Mon Nov 1 18:04:57 PST 2004 From: cy | Thanks for all your work...I use many of these songs where I work (music therapy) and often the patients will ask me to learn old favorites, many of which I have found here. Thanks again....great job! |
| Sun Oct 31 05:29:00 PST 2004 From: Maryanne Charles | I learnt many of these songs as a teenager while learning guitar, others my mum sang. My children are now young adults and these are now THEIR songs from their childhood. Thanks so much for sharing. Maryanne. Vic. Australia. |
| Sat Oct 30 22:12:01 PDT 2004 From: Maggie Strobbe | Awesome collection of great old songs. I often find myself singing bits and pieces of them, so now I know where to get ALL the words and chords. Thanks so much. Maggie S. |
| Sat Oct 30 17:09:58 PDT 2004 From: Laura | Thanks very much. Great site. I'm amazed at how many of the songs I already had but there were some valuable additions to my collection. Like your Mom, I played a lot of these songs for my kids growing up. My daughter discovered Cat Stevens a couple of years ago and remembered the songs as "her mom's". |
| Fri Oct 29 01:50:01 PDT 2004 From: Bm7b5 | Great songs. Thanks for the work. I hope you keep it going. Best wishes. |
| Wed Oct 27 17:04:31 PDT 2004 From: Don Ramey | Some great songs. I have a ton of the Kingston Trio + standard blues if you are in need. "Chilly Winds" should be a must on your sight. |

| Thu Oct 21 15:28:38 PDT 2004 From: George | Howdy from across the bay in San Rafael. I found your web site while looking for song chords and lyrics and spent some time looking around. Glad to see you are enjoying what the bay area has to offer in the way of outdoor recreation. P.S. Correction for Rev.John, Arlo Gruthie had a hit with City of New Orleans but it was written by Steve Goodman. |
| Thu Oct 21 14:46:04 PDT 2004 From: Kelly | Well it is very good web site but i would like to see more recent songs on it because that would attract more younger kids to it but also adults like new counrty to so yuo might want to do that ok but it is very good!! |
| Wed Oct 20 09:10:39 PDT 2004 From: Debbie Sisco | Great web site, my first visit! Found what I was looking for! Bravo!! |
| Wed Oct 20 05:00:59 PDT 2004 From: Lloyd Mattson | Thanks for your helpful site! I am trying to help the helpless play the QChord--your tabbed tunes are just right. Check out our McGuffey QCord Reader on the Web--Google the name. The Q is a comforting sub, when arthritis steals one's guitar. Great family you got! Blessings! Lloyd |
| Sun Oct 17 15:02:30 PDT 2004 From: Greg Borschel | Great site! Lots of classics. Congratulations. |
| Wed Oct 13 16:52:56 PDT 2004 From: Paul Miller | G'Day from Western Australia. Thanks for taking the time to produce the site and share your transcriptions with us all WITHOUT POPUPS or other annoying advertising banners. Like others, I too would love it if the songs that went to three table columns were more printer friendly as I do like to print them off to stick in my growing collection. Cheers and thanks again. Paul |

| Sat Sep 25 20:52:34 PDT 2004 From: Austin Weinstock | Austin/29yrsold/Illinois I Thank you so much for what you have done. I could go through 80% of these songs and be able to tell you where my Father and I were when we played them.. My Father and Mother used to Sing alot of these songs together as they taught me how to play and sing as well. After we lost my Mother to Cancer in 1982 These songs became much more important to me. The memories your work has givin me does my heart well. I have sent the link to My Father so he and I can do a little catching up on our playin. Again, Thank You !! Your new Website fan, Austin |

| Thu Sep 23 15:54:05 PDT 2004 From: Trill | Wow! Where has this site been all my life? I love it, it has all my favorite songs from when I was a kid, and then some. One question though, did you leave off the last verse of "Cruel War" on purpose? This will make my guitar playing endeavours so much better. Thank you for taking the time to do this, keep up the good work. |
| Thu Sep 23 15:34:54 PDT 2004 From: Zen | Thankyou for you'r site....I loved the simplifies version of the Wedding Song!!

I can't seem to find any good sites and was hoping you might have a few links for me to build on this.I'm looking for lyrics and chords. Anything you can suggest, if any , would be greatly appreciated.Thank you so much for the songs I already got, it is greatly appreciated. Sheldon MacDonald |
| Tue Sep 14 11:23:32 PDT 2004 From: David Anderson | Thanks so much for a great resource for guitar players like me who become frustrated trying to play some of our favorite songs useing standard tabs and chords which are beyond our abilitites. I'm so excited that I can't wait to sit down with my guitar and start playing all the songs I've wanted to play for so long but wasn't able to because I couldn't find arrangements that I was capable of playing. You've done a great service and I really appreciate your work. One problem I did have however was the same one that Sue Shannon posted about, that is getting some of them printed onto a single page. I tried landscape on print set up by on some it still wouldn't accomodate the page. Would appreciate any suggestions in this area. Thanks so much again! |
| Mon Sep 13 14:16:22 PDT 2004 From: Sue Shannon | Hi Aaron, this is an immense amount of work that you did with a lot of our favorite songs. I am having trouble printing some of them to fit on a page. Any suggestions? |

| Sat Sep 4 22:30:33 PDT 2004 From: Moz | Hi! This is a great website because it doesn't tell you to do or do that, just serves up the songs you've been looking for...and if you aren't planning to hit the road with your band *g*, this is perfect. hope there will be more songs added soon! look forward to a lot more of Baez. |
| Sat Sep 4 19:10:08 PDT 2004 From: dschiff | how can I print the page and see the whole page withut the line in the middle? thanks again. |
| Fri Sep 3 16:37:15 PDT 2004 From: Mama King | My 2nd grader learned "This land is your land..." at school and wanted the words and chords so her daddy could play it on the guitar and we could sing it as a family. Thank you for such an awesome resource. Mama King |
| Fri Sep 3 13:12:51 PDT 2004 From: Terry | Great site, but some of the lyrics are too wide and get cut off when printing. Could you find the chords/lyrics for "Somewhere" from west side story? Thanks, Terry |
| Thu Sep 2 22:27:15 PDT 2004 From: Paul Whetham | I've just started guitar and this is just what I need... I hope it can help create a family environment like yours! Many thanks and God bless. Paul. |
| Thu Sep 2 19:55:16 PDT 2004 From: Frank Johnson | Oh, great. Just great. Thanks a lot. I'm flying out of town tomorrow morning and now I'll be up all night playing through all these songs. (May I ask...did you learn guitar through the Laura Weber public TV program?) |
| Thu Sep 2 13:08:08 PDT 2004 From: Dennis | Nice work. It's the most organized music book I've ever seen. Do you have a downloadable version? NICE WORK! |

Cheers..... |
| Fri Aug 20 07:15:39 PDT 2004 From: John | Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics and chords to a song called "Two Fat Guys in a Hudson Hornet" (No, really) by Randall Hylton. It is truly one of the funniest things I have heard. Thanks. Be nice to each other. John |
| Thu Aug 19 16:26:31 PDT 2004 From: folk guitarist | Thanks for providing such a wonderful site. You have built up a wonderful collection of folk songs and let others share them. Would it be possible to give some indications of suggested arpeggio or strum patterns as well as time signatures with the songs? No criticism intended its merely a suggestion. Best wishes to yourself and Sarah. |
| Sun Aug 15 09:23:07 PDT 2004 From: marilyn | Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your lyrics and music page. My son is about your age and we are just beginning to do the music for generation thing as he is learning guitar and I am playing string bass. When we started jamming together we had to find common ground in music that we both like, and it was great to have the words and chords to so many favorites. Marilyn Alberta Canada |
| Fri Aug 13 03:46:10 PDT 2004 From: ted | hey ........ great selection of songs ....only problem I have is printing them out on landscape instead of portrait ..... keeps chopping all the right hand side off !! best wishes Ted Carlisle England |
| Fri Aug 13 02:57:15 PDT 2004 From: Roger McDonald | hi from new zealand! enjoyed your page! would you know of any other great sites like yours devoted to similar songs?? all the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rm |
| Wed Aug 11 20:08:30 PDT 2004 From: Vern Chandler | Hi Aaron!!! Enjoyed your page, glad I found it! I'm an old rocker from way back (been playing and singing since I was 7 back in 1960). I grew up with the oldies but I like a little of everything and that's what I liked most about your stuff. I'm not sure I agree on every chord translation but you're pretty damn close on most of them. They're simple and fun to play so who cares? Thanks for all your effort, see ya later... Vern Chandler - Coon Rapids, MN |
| Wed Aug 11 09:35:32 PDT 2004 From: Stella Hsu | wow man. great page! I feel like i know a celebrity!...I like your links too. Cute friend "adam" man. hmm, seeing all these chords, adjunct to hearing you jam the other night, i may make my good bud sadlor teach me how to play. So, if you see me in November, count me in when you guys so melodiously sing "stairway.." This is actually a really great site! Congrats on it!!! ps - your show-off site is hilarious |
| Tue Aug 10 14:26:42 PDT 2004 From: JAMIL LEBLANC | I CANT BELEIVE YOU LEFT OUT "BOTH SIDES NOW" |
| Tue Aug 10 10:53:05 PDT 2004 From: Irma | LOVE YOUR SITE!! WAY COOL! By any chance, do you have "IF I HAD MY WAY" by PP&M? :) Thanks for all the hard work you've done to help so mank folks. You're terrific! |
| Mon Aug 9 19:49:18 PDT 2004 From: Dave Hoffman | I googled for free lyrics and chords. Whe your site came up and the first words were "My mom", I knew I was in business. Bonanza! I think I printed off 40 songs that my parents used to play and sing around the campfire when I was a kid. No complaints, just my compliments! |
| Thu Aug 5 09:07:00 PDT 2004 From: Ley | Thank you so much for this wonderful site, I am about to get my son a guitar for his 11th birthday and with your site and songs,notes being so easy i'm sure my son will enjoy learning to play, so once again a big thank you for all your hard work. |
| Wed Aug 4 18:43:00 PDT 2004 From: Lee | Thanks for the songs, Aaron. I was looking for "Another You" by the Seekers when I found your site and it was cool to find some other songs from that era. Interesting job you have. I am an Extra Class amateur radio operator so I actually know about SETI, HAARP and all that jazz. After reading your bio, it seems that you are a very weird person to be only 22. You should be proud. Loved the part about hickdom. It's a bit different for me. I am a Southerner but decidedly not a hick since I grew up in the city and the suburbs. I come from a long line of hicks, however so am conversant in the culture. I have a friend from Boston who used to call me a "country boy". I had to explain to her that I had never milked a cow, plucked a chicken or been intimate with a sheep. Besides, I own at least two pairs of shoes and have most of my natural teeth. What was she thinking? Peace |
| Tue Aug 3 15:21:57 PDT 2004 From: Jim | Hi. I live in Australia play guitar and write songs. I'm looking for chords and lyrics of Gale Garnett song. Title is The Prism Song. Some of the lyrics are. Red and yellow, blue and green, prettiest thing that I've ever seen. Red and yellow blue and greeen, Lord this world treats a little child mean. Hope you can help. |
| Sun Aug 1 20:04:14 PDT 2004 From: John Coombs, Jr. | I like this page. It's like going to someone's house and flipping through their record collection ( ok... CD collection to you folks born after 1985). No sales pitches, ads, just the music. A nice collection of songs for taking out the old guitar at a bar-b-que or a party or in the student union between classes... something for everyone from 8 to 80. Great job! |
| Sun Aug 1 14:49:53 PDT 2004 From: Todd Breck | Just found your site and it looks great-Am part of a group called Whirled Peas in Wilmington De. Would like to find the chords to Steve Goodmans song-"Would you like ti learn to Dance" |
| Sun Aug 1 04:56:26 PDT 2004 From: Craig Miller | Excellant site! I am leaving camping with my family (six daughters and wife of course) today 8-1-04 and was looking for some great songs to play on guitar. I found much more than that. Thank you and your mom for taking the time to share your hard work, I really appreciate it.Craig |
| Sat Jul 31 14:24:17 PDT 2004 From: Joseph | Thanks so much for all these songs. It's great to have these chords. |
| Fri Jul 30 21:41:00 PDT 2004 From: pkoehler | This is the greatest web site we've found! My husband only knows how to play cords--he learned guitar in the Navey during Veitnam War and was taught by the back up guitar player for the BG's during their time there! The BG's guy had music books with cords already labeled for him. His books were lost in a fire in the 80s' and he's just recently started to play again since his 4 children bought him a new Alvarez to start playing and jammin' again with his son who was inspired by his dad when he was younger and listening to his dad play. Thanks again! This was a great find and inspiration to us! We now have a grandson who he wants to play for and this helps mucho! Take care and God Bless you in everything you do!!

| Thu Jul 29 08:59:40 PDT 2004 From: Bobbie | This is a wonderful site. I have just recently picked up my guitar again after many years of not playing, this site and the song selections have re-inspired me. I have forgotten how much I loved these old songs. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. |
| Wed Jul 28 05:29:18 PDT 2004 From: matt flynn | Aaron, this site is great. the chords are all right on and the format is easy to use. thank you so much for compiling this great list of "sing along songs". it has helped me bring to life some of the great marchin' and folk songs (i guess the are folk songs at this point, oooo...time is a scary thing)for my kids and their friends...thanks man and bless ya! matt |
| Mon Jul 26 15:41:59 PDT 2004 From: George Blackwood | Also, many thanks for being a Phil Ochs fan. I've been looking for "I ain't marchin' anymore" for quite some time. Peace and love from an old '60s warrior. (I don't live BACK in the '60s; I never left them). --george |
| Mon Jul 26 15:38:12 PDT 2004 From: GeorgeBlackwood | Aaron, Thank you so much for the terrific site. I've spend years looking for what I remembered as "The Whale Song," and lo and behold here it is listed as "Greenland Fishery." I know you're getting thousands of deserved notes of praise and thanks and probably don't have much time, but...I heard this song originally in the early '60s by a duo named Addis and Crofit (not sure on the spelling), info? thanx-g |
| Thu Jul 22 08:06:28 PDT 2004 From: Chuck Jackson | Thanks for the guitar chords. I love the way you have it laid out. |
| Tue Jul 20 09:21:06 PDT 2004 From: Mark | Thank you for the great site and great list of songs. Some of them I've been especially looking for. And a particular thank you for the "simplified" versions for those of us who are not guitar masters. I have two suggestions/requests for you. Both are great songs. "The Other Side Of This Life" originally by Fred Neil. The version by the Jefferson Airplane is much livelier and more fun to play. The other song is "High Flyin' Bird" by Billy Edd (yes, two "d's") Wheeler. There is a transcription of the Richie Havens version out there. But he uses open tuning. I'm looking for more of the original feel. Thanks again, - Mark |
| Mon Jul 19 20:56:35 PDT 2004 From: Kelsey | You brought back so many memories of my childhood in one place! I grew up falling asleep to these songs... I am teaching myself to play and these are just the songs i'm looking for- all in one place all beautiful. Thank you! Peace, Love & sore fingertips all the way! |
| Mon Jul 19 20:05:56 PDT 2004 From: Patrik | Hello, i realy liked your guitar songs! They can be hard to find in other places...thnx! |
| Mon Jul 19 13:43:33 PDT 2004 From: Trina | Thank you!! As a child I went to a commune in Michigan in the summer. We sang a ton of old folk songs (not to mention union songs) and swam in the lake and took care of plants and such. Ever since then I've been trying to find the chords (without tab and all the other bull that tends to come with) to those songs. This makes me sooo happy (though my family may be less so). By the way...I'm looking for the chords to a song that Nick Drake called the cocaine blues...but it may have originally been under another name....care to help?? Thanks again! |
| Mon Jul 19 12:20:00 PDT 2004 From: Jonathan Ford | Well done mate - your site is everything that's great about the internet! My poor wife now has the misfortune of hearing me ruin some of the classics! |
| Mon Jul 19 06:57:13 PDT 2004 From: Brian | Aaron, I just stumbled across your website this morning. You have an absolutely great site. I came here looking for the lyrics and chords for Annie's Song. I was touched by the loving connection you share with your mom, your fiance, and your new dog. Have a great day, Brian |
| Thu Jul 15 15:02:55 PDT 2004 From: cynde Hargrave | Great site, Aaron. I especially liked the poem 20/20. BTW, I found Huck's bone, buried beneath the newly planted gardenia. It's here for him when you make your next visit. |
| Thu Jul 15 14:08:58 PDT 2004 From: Brock Wolf | Heather, sorry to disappoint. I do hail from Atlanta, where I grew up next to the Chattahoochee River, so I can see where you'd mix me up with this Deliverance fellow. My name, however, is not pronounced Br-O-ck, but instead brawk. My mother, always an eccentric, once held a two hour long conversation with a chicken who suggested the name ad nauseum. |
| Thu Jul 15 13:52:37 PDT 2004 From: Aaron Parsons | Brock Wolf (notice Br-O-ck) hails from Atlanta, GA, currently resides in NYC, and to my knowledge, has never touched a banjo. I can ask him if he'd like to, though! By the way, I'm on vacation for the next month, so no more updates for a while. Sorry! |
| Wed Jul 14 22:15:36 PDT 2004 From: Heather March again | Who is this Bruck Wolf, is he Austrian, and is he in any way related to the Bruck's Deliverance Banjo group in Featherston, New Zealand? |
| Wed Jul 14 21:58:07 PDT 2004 From: Heather March | Found you by accident, and delighted to see so many old favourites. I am probably about as old as your mother, or older, play the guitar extremely badly and look forward to picking it up again. Your notation is easy to follow, Regards |
| Mon Jul 12 13:46:48 PDT 2004 From: Tom Bonnell | Just taking up guitar at a young age of 58. Your page will really help my picking...Thanks |
| Mon Jul 12 12:19:10 PDT 2004 From: Joy | What a great site.. thanks for all the hard work.. and the terrific songs.. :>) |
| Mon Jul 12 02:01:07 PDT 2004 From: Lora Beuoy | Silly me. I would be "Mom" in your notes. Thank you for the website and the music. I want to sing and play for my kids, too. I hope they keep the memories (good, I hope) and take them with them when they grow up, too. |
| Sat Jul 10 06:14:31 PDT 2004 From: Mike | Great site. Thank you so much. Killer collection of some of my favorite songs to play on the guitar. Your Karma will surely be good for this. Peace. |
| Fri Jul 9 07:39:39 PDT 2004 From: Kathy | My lyrics to Wynken, Blynken & Nod differ slightly from yours. We have a board book we sang to our kids when they were little. If you want my version I'd be glad to send it. Thanks for your research. We've been asked to sing to our son & his wife at their wedding reception and needed the chords for this song. |
| Wed Jul 7 10:55:29 PDT 2004 From: Caroline | Love your site and wondered if you could put two extra songs on it...Georgy girl and the Goodbye Girl song that Bread wrote for The Goodbye Girl movie. Thanks very much |
| Mon Jul 5 11:58:26 PDT 2004 From: Joe Shepard | My monthly guitar club relies on new material every month -- I usaully bring two or three. This site is gonna keep me going for awhile -- Thanks. |
| Thu Jul 1 15:17:15 PDT 2004 From: Lois | Thanks for your wonderful site!!! We're traveling and need a song to share so I thought I'd brush up on If I Had a Hammer and found exactly what I was looking for here. Kudos... |
| Thu Jul 1 06:41:45 PDT 2004 From: Rene | Great Site. Some songs are in a way that, for the first time, I understand them (Hotel California), even though I do think some chords are not original (Ugly Kid Joe starts Cats in the cradle with a Bsus2, if I am not mistaken). Still great site!! |
| Thu Jul 1 05:51:04 PDT 2004 From: Dennis Adams | Great site, easy chords for a novice like me. By the way ? - For baby is a beautiful song by John Denver (For baby for Bobby). Many thanks. Dennis |
| Wed Jun 30 14:35:34 PDT 2004 From: Guitar Bob | Wow! Your page is great!! Every bit as good, if not better than, OLGA. It's set up in a very easy way to understand and I saw songs in there that I've never seen anywhere else. Keep up the good work. GeeBee |
| Sun Jun 27 20:44:15 PDT 2004 From: Joe Neely | I'm looking for a song that, I think, is a classic roots songs called " (?) County". Any ideas? |
| Sun Jun 27 17:20:54 PDT 2004 From: Sheldon MacDonald | Just a small note to thank you for the great songs you have posted on this site. Some of them I find are very hard to come by or wouldn't think of looking for.Much appreciated...thank you |

| Wed Jun 23 13:09:27 PDT 2004 From: paul | Hello. Looks like a beautiful life. Just wanted to say thanks for the songs. I'll learn how to strum that guitar yet! |
| Tue Jun 22 10:05:58 PDT 2004 From: Aaron Parsons | RE: Shawn A dash means that the specified chord comes later, after there is any text to attach it to. |
| Mon Jun 21 15:42:37 PDT 2004 From: Angie | I love this website |

| Fri Jun 11 19:18:26 PDT 2004 From: Mary-El | Thanks so much for creating this site! It has so many songs I've been trying to figure out for a long time. However, do you happen to know the chords and lyrics for Casey Jones? |
| Fri Jun 11 16:15:47 PDT 2004 From: Shannon | This is a great site you've got going. i hope you keep it up and update regularly. i will be back to visit. |
| Fri Jun 11 11:16:47 PDT 2004 From: Josh | great website. I've been playing for about ten years, and I only recently started exploring sites other than OLGA. great job! |
| Mon Jun 7 12:12:17 PDT 2004 From: MaryLou Dale | Just finished looking over your site...wow! There's more here than I saw at first. I am a beginning guitarist also, I love how simple it all is! Thanks. |
| Mon Jun 7 11:51:40 PDT 2004 From: MaryLou Dale | Could you please find chords for Running Bear? Thanks. |

| Tue Jun 1 21:43:45 PDT 2004 From: Amy | Hey I love this site! It has just the perfect songs for some around-the-campfire-guitar-playing! Thank you for sharing these songs with us! |
| Tue Jun 1 21:12:41 PDT 2004 From: Ricky Chan | Dear Aaron, Thank you so much. It is just an archive. However, I have been looking for the lyrics and chords of a folk song in the 60s by Joan Baez called "Donna Donna". Can you help me with it. A Many thanks. Ricky |
| Mon May 31 17:58:17 PDT 2004 From: Simon Crane - UK | Absolutely wonderful to see so many Phil Ochs songs on your site. I've loved his songs for years but they are so often overlooked. Thank you very much. |
| Fri May 28 11:21:31 PDT 2004 From: Aaron Parsons | When it rains it pours... I've added the following songs: Gordon Lightfoot - Early Mornin' Rain Tom Petty - Mary Jane's Last Dance Moody Blues - Story In Your Eyes And I've modified lyrics to This Land is Your Land and Drill Ye Terriers. Also, I seperated the simplified version of Sound of Silence from the actual version, which now goes by the title Sound of Silence. |
| Thu May 27 18:00:37 PDT 2004 From: Aaron Parsons | I corrected the lyrics to Red Rubber Ball by Cyrkle. As for "If I Had a Hammer" minor chords... I guess I'll have to try and dig up PP&M to remember how they do the song. The songs do have inaccuracies, many are simplified, and I am only one person. I prefer specific references to where a song is wrong so I can fix it. |
| Tue May 25 03:28:21 PDT 2004 From: Wendy | It's a great resource for us, guitar beginners. It would be even more wonderful if the strumming or finger picking can be included in the songs as well. Thank you very much. |
| Mon May 24 08:55:19 PDT 2004 From: Dave | Great site! Lots of obscure songs. Love it! I looked at #138 - "Red Rubber Ball" and in verse 2 it should read: "You never cared for secrets I'd confide. To you I'm just an ornament, something for your pride." |
| Sun May 23 15:22:56 PDT 2004 From: Gene | Re: If I Had A Hammer Why do you leave out the minor chord? Just curious. |
| Fri May 21 15:13:24 PDT 2004 From: andy fagan | Hi, Aaron, I cam a cross your site searching for the chords to Tom paxton's "Bottle of Wine". I have saved several songs from your site, bookmarked your site and will return. Hope to get my children (Rose 9 and Stuat 5) strumming along to a few of them. Great site and worthy of your efforts. Thanks a lot, Andy |
| Fri May 21 15:09:08 PDT 2004 From: Jim Lee | Hi looking for a song by Gale Garnett. title "Prism Song" from her Sing In The Sunshine Album. I've been searching for this song for ages. Do hope you can deliver. Thanks Jim |
| Fri May 21 06:49:46 PDT 2004 From: Ben | Hi, not a bad site, but many of your songs contain inaccuracies. If you're unsure of something, feel free to ask me about it (i'm a music graduate). |

| Mon May 17 15:10:34 PDT 2004 From: Jeremy Searley | From Jeremy Searley, Birmingham, England What a fabulous find your site is - just the sort of stuff I like to strum and sing. If you're ever here in the area of Shakespeare, Land Rover, Jaguar etc, please drop in - I've got spare guitars and mikes. Keep up the good work anyway. |
| Sun May 16 01:48:09 PDT 2004 From: Ian, Seagrave, England | Just want to say how much I appreciate your chord/lyrics treasure trove - I needed "The last thing on my mind"... It was easy to copy and paste, then edit into a Word doc without the chords jumbling up. A beautifully presented site... I'll be back! Many thanks! |
| Thu May 6 16:09:14 PDT 2004 From: Mickey | Nice web site & good information. Here are a few revisions. "For Baby" is actually "For Bobby" and is by John Denver "City of New Orleans" was sung by Arlo Guthrie (But I don't know who wrote it) "I Ain't a Marchin' Anymore" is by Phil Ochs Peter Paul & Mary sang: "Cruel War", "For Lovin Me", If I Had My Way" and "A Man of Constant Sorrow" Tom Paxton wrote and performed "Marvelous Little Toy" I hope this helps, Mickey |
| Thu May 6 14:55:24 PDT 2004 From: Gary Richards | Thank you...Your efforts will bring pleasure to many... |
| Wed May 5 19:37:22 PDT 2004 From: Dave Gibson | Excellent selection of songs! Your mom must be about my age (I'm 53). I've only been playing for six months and have had sporadic luck finding good lyrics with chords, and I've hit the mother lode here! Thank you for your efforts. |
| Mon May 3 13:57:31 PDT 2004 From: Glenn Norgren | Tell your Mom I like her choice of songs. She is a sweet, sensitive person. I have been singing many of them for years |
| Sun May 2 10:09:35 PDT 2004 From: j murray | Thanks for your great efforts on a wonderful site. Do you have "Since My Canary Died" done by the Brothers Four? Thanks again. |
| Sat May 1 10:15:06 PDT 2004 From: Tom | Your site is outstanding, thanks alot! I will visit again. |
| Fri Apr 30 20:18:19 PDT 2004 From: Janice and Arnie Suhr | We really like your site! It's nice having the words and the chords in the song. Do you have the words and chords to "Baby Talk" by Jan and Dean? |
| Fri Apr 30 19:59:18 PDT 2004 From: Rebecca Dodd | WOW, you don't understand how wonderful it is to have found this site! I just got a guitar this past christmas and am just learning how to play songs. This site creates an easy understanding of how to play the songs and the chords are fairly simple. Thanks for all the work you put in it. It also helps because it's free. so thanks a million! Rebecca |
| Tue Apr 27 17:21:38 PDT 2004 From: Karen | Most accessible chord/lyric page I've ever been to and Bless you , not one pop up. I have a little book I have had about 30 years it is called Creations. Has 180 pages of "verrrry" old folk songs. If you ever need words and some chords... let me know. |
| Mon Apr 26 04:25:59 PDT 2004 From: Iain McClafferty | A great site. Congratulations. These are the kind of songs that eveyone loves to sing along to. I've been looking for the lyrics and chords to a song called, "Beautiful Sunday". At least I think that's the title. But I can't find it anywhere. I don't know the group/band name either which makes things a bit more difficult! It goes something like: "My, my, my, beautiful Sunday. My, my, my, it's a beautiful day." |
| Sat Apr 24 05:32:44 PDT 2004 From: Meg Cleary | A good site and the songs are simplified so I can play them well. Could you put more Carole King songs like "Where You Lead"? It's my daughter's favourite from the Gilmore Girls. Thanks, Meg. |
| Sat Apr 24 00:41:28 PDT 2004 From: johnne coston | great site. I never would have dreamed someone else likes these songs. I have sung most of them for years--my kids hate it. keep up the good work Johnne |
| Thu Apr 22 01:43:08 PDT 2004 From: Dirk Klotz | Hi Aaron, I'm Dirk, location Cologne, Germany. Just found your site by chance while I was looking for some lyrics from Simon & Garfunkel. I printed out your version of "The Boxer" and then decided to take a closer look at your page. Although I use to surf the web every day, each time I stumble across a nice site like yours it is so exciting to find out a little bit about somebody who lives on the other side of the world. :) And the best, of course, is your huge song collection. As all the previous visitors, I also say "Thanks" and will attach this page to my favourites. Farewell! Dirk |
| Wed Apr 21 12:35:25 PDT 2004 From: cristina krause | Your mom and I have a lot in common in songs! enjoyed your site, I had to copy and paste into word some songs in order to print it all. thanks for all your hard work, cristina |
| Tue Apr 20 18:03:52 PDT 2004 From: Sandi Share | Thanks-great site! We've all been collecting so many of these songs for years. Thank you for taking time to post them. Really happy to see the Phil Ochs "I ain't marchin' anymore". I used to play this and I forgot all about it. Now would be a good time to play it. Also Buffy St. Marie's "Universal Soldier". So many of these songs I learned in the 60's. It's good to see them again. |
| Mon Apr 19 07:12:35 PDT 2004 From: Steve | Great site. Nice collection of songs Keep up the good work by adding more ! |
| Fri Apr 16 02:45:21 PDT 2004 From: penny | thank you so much for a beautiful collection of chords! I've been looking all around for alot of these, especially the Joan Baez ones- everyone elses are much too complicated for a rookie like me! |
| Tue Apr 13 15:30:51 PDT 2004 From: Andie | This site is beautiful! I'm 18 and away from home for the first time - I've been playing guitar for a few years now but could never find these songs. It helps to play and sing the songs my mom sung to me as a child, and makes me feel more at home :) Thank you! |
| Sun Apr 11 22:21:59 PDT 2004 From: Aaron Parsons | The "Annie's Song" by S&G typo has been fixed. In response to the two comments about incorrect chords--some songs may be transposed into a key other than the one the original artist sang them in. This is usually to make them more singable for me, or occasionally to put the song in a key more easily playable by beginning guitarists. For example, John Denver, with his high voice, sings Annie's Song in the key of D. Aaron Parsons, with a lower voice, can sing it more easily by lowering it down to the key of C. However, the chords are all correct relative to one another. This means that if you capo your guitar up or down a few frets (in the case of Annie's Song, capo up 2) you'll be able to sing along with your favorite recording and all the chords will be spot on. |
| Sun Apr 11 19:51:55 PDT 2004 From: Lewin Barringer | Annie's song is By John Denver NOT Simon and Garfunkel and the chords are wrong. Just thought I would let you know! Keep up the good work! Lewin Barringer |
| Sun Apr 11 16:29:13 PDT 2004 From: Sarah_C | What a lovely web site, easy to use and tidy. Im just learning to play my guitar (part of the Teacher Training programme I am on) and found this site to be a fantastic resorce. Regards, Sarah_C |

| Wed Mar 31 06:02:33 PST 2004 From: Hunt | I am a middle-aged teacher with vague memories of playing the guitar as an adolescent. Your site has given me a way to play these songs at my school and teach them to young kids. Thank you very much. |

| Wed Mar 24 23:02:10 PST 2004 From: Mary | I guess your mother and I must have grown up in the same era! Thanks for all these wonderful songs and these great memories. I'm enjoying singing and playing them. Best wishes Mary (New Zealand) |
| Wed Mar 17 21:07:13 PST 2004 From: Bill Lee | I am very impressed with your selection of songs. Many of these songs I sing and am so pleased to find them all with the guitar chords. I have included your site in my FAVORITES. You wouln't happen to know where I can get the Lyrics and chords to MY HOME BY THE FRASER sang by Alberta Slim and or Kerry Reegan? Excellent site once again. |

| Mon Mar 15 06:05:05 PST 2004 From: Hal Eardley | Terrific site - I've wanted the music to 'Spirit of New Orleans' since I heard it on John Denver's 'Eyrie' album. You have spent a lot of time constructing your site and I have listed it as a favourite on my browser alonside 'Chordie' which is large site of music from all over the world. I shall be borrowing the tunes from your site to play in my local folk clubs in England. Thanks again. |
| Fri Mar 12 17:50:33 PST 2004 From: Aaron Parsons | I should also add, in case the general sentiment is that I don't pay attention to the posts here that: a. I do pay attention. b. I have added the artist names which Donna was kind enough to provide me with. c. I am strongly considering removing the page breaks which appear in long songs, but have thus far been restrained by the fear that visits to my website will suffer because of it. d. There are a whole lot of requests for songs which I don't know, and I'm low on time for writing up songs by groups with whom I am familiar. |
| Fri Mar 12 17:44:20 PST 2004 From: Aaron Parsons | For the benefit of the online community I'll post the answer to Brock's question here: catachresis is the strained or paradoxical use of words either in error or deliberately, as in the case of a mixed metaphor |
| Fri Mar 12 14:44:26 PST 2004 From: Brock Wolf | Congratulations to Mr. Parons on the terrific success of his website. It seems a disparate group of music lovers has found a digital campfire around which to strum six-strings and relate nostalgic anecdotes. And let me assure the brethen (and sistren!) that Mr. Parsons is uniquely capable of keeping that fire lit for all those who seek its warmth. And speaking of the unique knowledge of Mr. Parsons, I meekly seek the answer to a question that has haunted me for at least the last five minutes: Aaron, what is that ridiculous word that means naught but "mixed metaphor?" Feel free to reply to the group or, if you so choose, call or email me directly. And fear not: I will use the knowledge you impart not for evil, but only for the good of all humankind (or at least the pretentious decile)... |
| Fri Mar 12 14:43:01 PST 2004 From: Steph | Love the site! I am beginner guitar player and love these tunes and the outline of chords. Thank you!! |

| Tue Mar 9 18:52:44 PST 2004 From: Mike | I can't believe the list of songs you have here. I have been playing most of these songs for 35 years or so. It must be fun at your house on music night. Thanks for making this available. boz |
| Fri Mar 5 19:06:20 PST 2004 From: Donna | I love your collection of songs! Many thanks for sharing. I noticed you are missing a few artists' names ... Did She Mention My Name is Gordon Lightfoot ... Dona and Wynken, Blynken, and Nod are both Donovan. Cheers. |
| Fri Mar 5 12:50:14 PST 2004 From: John Starling, Sr. | I think your site is awesome....however I agree with Carl Rambali...It would be very nice to be able to print the songs line upon line.. Keep up the good work.. |
| Fri Mar 5 08:34:59 PST 2004 From: CARL RAMBALI | JUST ONE OBSERVATION: YOU HAVE SOME OF THE CHORUS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MAIN SONG. PRINTING IT IS DIFFICULT. HOW CAN I GET THE ENTIRE SONG...LINE UPON LINE THANKS CARL |

| Thu Feb 26 19:54:27 PST 2004 From: Lisa Yates | Was your mother by chance ever a Girl Scout? I spent years collecting songs - many of these SAME songs - which I learned and played with friends who were camp counselors in Idaho years ago.

| Mon Feb 16 18:12:37 PST 2004 From: Bernice Boling | Thanks so very much for your website. This is my first visit, but will return. I am 65 yrs. old and the names of some of these songs brought tears to me eyes. Do you remember "Baby Mine"? I used to sing that to my children. These will bring memories scaled over back to life. |
| Tue Feb 10 16:03:43 PST 2004 From: Amber Gamsby | I'm looking for the lyrics for a folk song that was performed by the Two Gentlemen Folk on a tv special quite a few years ago, perhaps upwards of 10. It's a cute song about a little girl who is afraid of bears. The first line of the chorus is Are you there, Mr. Bear. I have no idea what it is called or who wrote it. Any ideas? |
| Tue Feb 3 10:47:49 PST 2004 From: Rene | Great songs! Thanks for doing such an awesome job and for sharing resources :) |

| Mon Jan 5 18:42:51 PST 2004 From: dorcas kirsch | Bravo for all your hard work putting these many songs (with chords) together for people like me who really, really appreciate being able to visit a site(without those annoying popUps) to find certain songs I'd like to learn & then to be able to copy,paste,print & play! If only more sites were this user friendly, simple & FREE! thank you |
| Sun Jan 4 20:40:37 PST 2004 From: Clayton Wright | Thanks for your lyrics etc. I just took up guitar and it really helps. I'll remember you when I hit the big time......"yuk,yuk." |
| Sun Jan 4 07:04:04 PST 2004 From: John Fitzsimmons | This is a great site. I ws just browsing around for some camp song lyrics and found this. Nice, simple and informative. Thanks! |
| Sat Jan 3 05:14:10 PST 2004 From: Tom Lewis | What a neat site; I ran across it looking for some lyrics, but strolled around getting to know you & your family. Lots of fun - keep it up! |
| Thu Jan 1 09:11:19 PST 2004 From: Sabine | Hi Aaron! I found your page when googeling for "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" (I just heard it on the radio and thought it would be nice to have the lyrics to sing along ...). That's how I discovered your song list (however an "up" button or something like it had been very helpful here ;-) hint, hint :-) ). And wow! What an impressive list that is! I'll definitely come back to have a closer look at it! Big Thank You and bye for now. |
| Thu Dec 25 06:22:37 PST 2003 From: Andy Lagana | Thanks for your site, it made my christmas with the toy song! |
| Tue Dec 23 07:59:06 PST 2003 From: Ted Barnard | I have greatly appreciated your little site. Your mom and I must be contemporaries for her songs and mine are very close. My daughter recently asked me to compile my tabs, lyrics, and styles (bad as they are) so I began building a similar document / web system. I have used a number of your songs there as they are very well done. |
| Wed Dec 10 14:54:55 PST 2003 From: Brock Wolf | Let me be the first to congratulate (via electronic media) Mr. Aaron Parsons and Ms. Sarah Spiegel on their impending nuptuals. I have witnessed with an emotion not unlike joy the inception, cultivation, and, now, fruition of their relationship. In my less sardonic moments, I have marvelled at the couple's intimacy and emotional connectiveness. And while I am generally loathe to bandy about blithe aphorisms of love's affirmational and regenerative powers, a few drinks at the reception (re: open bar) may induce a proliferation of saccharine prose not known since Abelard wrote to Heloise. But let's hope it doesn't come to that... And so: Congratulations! Chapeau! Felicitations! Mazeltov! (Would that I had the power to change this Guestbook font from "Times New Roman" to "Wedding Caligraphy!") |
| Thu Dec 4 05:16:33 PST 2003 From: Travis May | Good guitar stuff. I am right up yall's ally. I was suprised to find content from yesterday on here! :) All the other SETI guys are OLD or Hippies! You're alright by me :P |
| Wed Dec 3 11:33:13 PST 2003 From: Aaron Parsons | I go through spurts of adding a lot. Right now, I'm doing grad school applications and getting married, so I don't have as much time. Somehow I lost the Hotel California file I said I was going to add. and RE: Jai Ram, sorry, but I do not know or have access to that song. Sorry! |
| Tue Dec 2 20:36:39 PST 2003 From: Carol | Aaron: This is a great site and a great discovery for me! Thank you so much for making all these great tunes available. I grew up with many of them. I'm printing out many of them now so that I can rush downstairs, dust off my guitar and play them until midnight! Thanks again. Do you ever add new tunes to the site? --Carol |
| Sun Nov 30 16:31:53 PST 2003 From: Jai Ram | Hi Aaron thank you for the wonderful songs. This compliment though is laced with an agenda in that i was wondering if you had the chords for Angelo...(the shepherd boy who fell in love, rich was she et.c) sung by the Brotherhood of Man altho i have heard it is much older than that... would be eternally grateful and worshipful thanks again |
| Sat Nov 29 16:41:06 PST 2003 From: Sarah | Hi Aaron. I'm putting together a singalong CD and songbook for my friends this Christmas, and your site has been instrumental (no pun intended) in jogging my memory about all the great songs we used to sing around the campfire as kids. My guitarist friends will appreciate your tabs as well. Thanks so much! |
| Sun Nov 23 15:11:05 PST 2003 From: Laura | J'ai trouv\xe9 votre site cherche pour les paroles pour un chanson de Boris Vian "Le Deserteur". J'aime beaucoup les paroles que vous avez maintenant, mais en France nous employons des autre paroles pour ce chanson. Si vous les voudriez, je peut vous les donner. Aussi, j'adore tous les chansons de folk americaine que vous avez ici. Tr\xe8s chouette! Merci beaucoup, gar. |
| Sun Nov 23 12:21:11 PST 2003 From: max | Hi guy, Thank you! |
| Sat Nov 22 20:23:28 PST 2003 From: ron bieri | This site looks great! |
| Fri Nov 21 12:54:00 PST 2003 From: Steve Murphy | Aaron- thanks for letting me share your songs- I wish all the web was so friendy - you got a really cool mam - make sure you appreciate her best regds Steve |
| Wed Nov 19 17:42:03 PST 2003 From: Heather Scull | Wonderful!!! I started a note book in high school with the chords to popular folk songs in the 70's. You have helped me complete it. Heather |
| Wed Nov 19 10:46:36 PST 2003 From: John | Hi Aaron, Really enjoyed your songs page. The music brings back very fond memories. On the printing issue...I've found your format pastes quite nicely into Word, which can then be enlarged a bit for easier reading. |
| Tue Nov 18 10:49:37 PST 2003 From: Aaron Parsons | Whew! Getting a lot of posts here. Firstly, these songs don't print well, and I'm considering making printable versions, but I'm still debating it because: A. I like people revisiting my site and playing guitar in front of the computer and B. I'm worried about providing printable possibly copyrighted material (my mom and I worked out these songs by ear, but the songs are copyrighted). Secondly, I've had requests for a lot of songs I don't have access to, but I have written up 'Hotel California' and will post it soon. Thirdly, my mom lives in Rangely, Colorado, as did I for most of my life. Her name is Shirley Parsons. |
| Sat Nov 15 09:07:46 PST 2003 From: brent | cool songs im gona try to play some |
| Fri Nov 14 22:54:52 PST 2003 From: Jimmy Teo T S | What a wonderful site! I was searching for chords and lyrics to popular songs when I stumbled across yours. Well done and thanks! By the way, do you think you can add Hotel California ? |
| Wed Nov 12 22:01:05 PST 2003 From: Crystal Crow | A great site! Lots of good songs. I have printed a few for my husband to learn and play on his guitar. One problem we are having is when the songs are in columns across the page. My printer only prints the first column and a half leaving the rest hanging off the page. Any help you can give on this wld be really appreciated. Thanks, Crystal |
| Tue Nov 11 12:36:44 PST 2003 From: Shirley | Aaron, it's your mom. I was visiting your web page, as I do once in a while when I want to see you, and chanced upon your guestbook. I am astounded at the response over the guitar songs. Little did I know you and I would work together to affect all these people! |
| Mon Nov 10 20:02:32 PST 2003 From: Roscoe Lehman | I have not ever seen this many good songs, organized like this. It's great! Perfect for playing at a coffeehouse or whatever, because all the lyrics are there, with chords and all. Thanks so mch!!! |
| Sat Nov 8 14:06:22 PST 2003 From: eddy | hello everyone |
| Wed Nov 5 00:23:25 PST 2003 From: Dean Moriarty | Hey Aaron, These songs mean a lot to me too. I'll bet your mom's way cool. See you on the road, Dean Moriarty |
| Mon Nov 3 21:16:16 PST 2003 From: shar | Your site IS the motherlode!!! I love it. Bless you a thousand times. Have you seen any chords for "Soda and a Souvenier" by Bette Midler? or "Hold Me" by Saffire the Uppity Blues Women? how about songs by K.T. Oslin? |
| Fri Oct 31 13:47:53 PST 2003 From: josh | what a great page! i have been trying to find a lot of these songs to play. i use it all the time. again great page! peace |
| Mon Oct 27 14:09:49 PST 2003 From: Brock Wolf | I apologize for the gushiness of Ms. Grahm (and her unfortunately spelled surname), who, in her rush to publish my thoughts, neglected to append a deprecating line about yours truly (a trademark of mine in writing) and instead used Brock-aggrandizing prose (a trademark of mine in living). Let us amend... Replace "genius" with "apparently bored," and "dreamy and smart" with "will he ever shut up?" and I think she has it. Also, I would like to inform Mr. Parsons that I recently returned from Paris. Per the social decorum advocated by Gwar in the band's landmark "Sexecutioner"... I pulled down my pants. |
| Sat Oct 25 19:11:42 PDT 2003 From: Abbie K. | good collection e-mail me when you get "the only living boy in n.y." -P.simon & A. garfunkel |
| Sat Oct 25 13:35:04 PDT 2003 From: Rick | Great site, thanks for the effort. Is there anyway you can figure out the tag for John Denver's "Whiskey Basin Blues". If you could that would be great, thank you. |
| Fri Oct 24 15:02:35 PDT 2003 From: Aaron Parsons | I wish this dreamy smart genius Brock would leave a valid email address so I could contact him. For our readers: I have only dated girls named Sarah (coincidence) and I have 4-5 friends named Sarah, leading to many unfortunate phone conversations. Brock, a former roommate of mine, has been party to several such conversations. |
| Fri Oct 24 11:12:40 PDT 2003 From: Anna Grahm | My genius friend Brock just realized that an anagram for "Aaron Parsons" is "On Saras: A Porn." That pretty much describes Mr. Parsons, I think. (That Brock, dreamy and smart...) |
| Sat Oct 18 14:31:06 PDT 2003 From: Devon | Man... i need to get a homepage just so I can get linked! I feel so left out of the loop... |
| Fri Oct 17 13:48:02 PDT 2003 From: Merritt | Aaron, Thanks for your great guitar chords page. I appreciate it! Careless Love is an old tune with many versions floating out there. Here's the one I know by Josh White (circa 1941) in Open D tuning. D A7 D-G-D Love, oh love, oh careless love. D B7 E7-A7 Ah Love, oh love, oh careless love. D D7 G It's caused me to weep, & it's caused Gm me to moan D Bm E7 A7 D It's caused me to lose my happy home Blues turn b/w verses: D-Turn#1-T#2-T#3-D-A7 (See turns below in Open D) OTHER VERSES: Sorrow, sorrow to my heart, (3x) When me and my truelove had to part. INSTRUMENTAL BREAK I cried last night and the night before, (3x) Gonna cry tonight and I'll cry no more. O how I wish that train would come, (3x) And take me back to where I come from. END TURNS Blues Turn #1: D A+3 = C D F#+3 = A A D Blues Turn #2: D A+2 = B D F#+2 = G# A D Blues Turn #3: D A+1 = Bb D F#+1 = G A D - Merritt Green Bay, WI |

| Thu Oct 16 10:28:14 PDT 2003 From: Matthew | Great site! I wish my mom was a guitar player. That's awesome! Thanks for the chords. I'm a school teacher and needed some of these for my class! |
| Wed Oct 15 13:28:55 PDT 2003 From: Charlie | This is a great selection, but maybe,put some more rock stuff, maybe some Pearl Jam songs... |
| Wed Oct 15 01:10:14 PDT 2003 From: pratap ravindran | Hi there! Great work...I like the way you've worked out many of the songs...keep on truckin'... PR |
| Mon Sep 29 11:12:14 PDT 2003 From: Aaron Parsons | My apologies for the typo. It has been fixed. |
| Fri Sep 26 07:14:43 PDT 2003 From: kyle | Just wanted you to know that Annie's song is by John Denver (it was written about his wife), not Simon and garfunkel. |
| Wed Sep 24 23:58:04 PDT 2003 From: Adam Sadler | What up? I still can't stop playing 'Tangerine,' and I haven't taught myself anything new. My next project is Foreigner's 'Double Vision,' I've decided. Also working on the harmony for Detachable Yellow Love Song (can we somehow incorporate a 9 chord?). I'll let you know. When I get a site you better link to it. Any day now. |
| Wed Sep 24 10:59:49 PDT 2003 From: cheryl | hi, I just want to say Thank You for sharing the "MUSIC" i'm recently a new guitar player, my father has been teaching me. I was recently turning to the web page, Tab Planet to get songs to play but it's been recently up for sale and the site is no longer available. Just to let you know finding your site on a whim, has made me so happy.............. LOL i can now play my guitar again.....the chords above the lyrics help tremendously. Thanks again so much Cheryl |

| Tue Sep 23 04:38:21 PDT 2003 From: Mary Kay | Thanks - I'll get practicing these songs and then let you know how it goes. Nice selection. I'm doing a sing-a-long as a volunteer for a after dinner sing along for the seniors in our community. I'm going looking for "Let me call you Sweetheart" and "Five Foot Two". I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again - MK |
| Fri Sep 19 22:11:08 PDT 2003 From: rick | Good job! Thanks for sharing your favorites. My brother and I just had a great evening playing thought the songs(I on the banjo he on the piano). Remember.... so many songs....so little time. rick |
| Wed Sep 17 21:37:48 PDT 2003 From: Abigail Sawyer | Hi. I just came across your site because I was looking for directions to Briones Regional Park. All the more likely sites that google retrieved with such information were down, so I nosed arund on your web page and was truly touched by the line about people from tiny towns in the middle of deserts seldom leaving. Being from a not-as-tiny town in a desert not too far (in western state terms) from Rangely, I can definitely relate. Born and raised in Farmington, New Mexico, I've called Northern California home for the past eight years. Now I live in San Francisco, and it warms my heart just a little to know that someone else in the general vicinity has an inkling of what it feels like to have left such a place as that and come to such a place as this. |
| Tue Sep 16 17:38:59 PDT 2003 From: Jason Bernardi | Great music and some things as I haven't played in while. As the population ages these songs will be visited many times over. Thank you also for bridging the generations. |
| Wed Sep 10 09:38:53 PDT 2003 From: Aaron Parsons | I researched "There Is Love (Wedding Song)", and have a workable transcription. I've posted 2 versions on my page: 1 in the original key, 1 transposed into the friendly key of C. |
| Sun Sep 7 12:48:06 PDT 2003 From: Sarah Wood | HI Aaron, From cruising a bit of you guest book, I would say "sarah" must be common name in your life. I'm just a folk song fan who recently dusted off my guitar. Many of the songs I used to sing have made their way to your page and I just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you for posting them. Love having some of the "modern" golden oldies available as well----*wastin' away in Maragritaville......* Great work! |
| Fri Sep 5 18:13:30 PDT 2003 From: Marc | Hi.. Great list of lyrics. looks good I was wondering if you could add the lyrics to Noel Paul Stookey's song, "Wedding Song-There is Love". He composed it for Peter Yarrow's wedding. Thanks! |
| Fri Sep 5 00:48:52 PDT 2003 From: Martha Cruz | Just wanted to say thank you. My son is in the Marines and he wrote home asking for the words to the song I used to sing to him when he was little. I was so amazed at how much of the song he remembered. However, I only knew one verse. This site allowed me to get the rest of the verses. Thanks so much. The song was "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot". Sincerely, Martha Cruz |
| Thu Sep 4 22:50:33 PDT 2003 From: Richard Hammond | Some one said to me the other day "why do mostly play old stuff" and I thought about that and I thought "cause I like it" I guess its true I ain't much of giutar player and I ain't got no voice but I just do it for me. These songs are what I grew up with and I like them.....modern day songs is okay.... if you like video clips...but I ain't seen no Dylan or Beatles or Stones or Donova, Guthrie etc Anyway, thank you Richard Australia |
| Thu Jul 31 08:58:25 PDT 2003 From: Brock Wolf | While wasting away my work day, an idea (an admittedly dim one) flashed across my generally unused cerebral expanse. Whatever happened to that squat hick from Colorado with whom I used to drink? Having naught but the most vague memories of said hick's name (on account of the drinking), I called upon google, seeking its astoundingly vast knowledge of the universe. Disappointed that google does not indeed read my mind (RIPOFF!), I was forced to trek the misfiring synapses (drinking) of my college memories. Having painfully retraced these memories, I came upon a name: Aaron Parsons! Ah yes, a last name befitting the vertically parsed. The superfluousness of his character mimeographed in the superfluousness of the A's and On's. Wondrous! But was I correct? And so I searched for said bumpkin, only to have google speak (SPEAK!) to me, presenting me with a dilemma only a philosopher or Zen priest could have loved: "Do you mean Alan Parsons?" I'm still not sure if I MEAN Alan Parsons, or if I mean anything at all, but I do know that I found my friend. |
| Wed Jul 16 10:49:38 PDT 2003 From: Sarah Spiegel | heyyyyyy! you're on google! i am so proud! you're like number four or something. |
| Tue Jul 15 10:29:33 PDT 2003 From: Aaron Parsons | For large Fast Fourier Transforms (which is what your screensaver is doing), CPU's cannot hold all the numbers they need in cache, so the entire process becomes dominated by memory bandwith, which has not been increasing as quickly as processor speed has. However, workunit processing time has been decreasing over time because of these new-fangled high-spec PC's. |
| Fri Jul 11 10:24:24 PDT 2003 From: Wesley Robert Parsons | Came here from Seti because of the odd similarity between our names. Nice site, though. |
| Thu Jul 10 15:00:37 PDT 2003 From: Pete Mason | Hey dude ! Freaky posts, I just came here from Seti 'cos I have a question. Is that allowed? Anyway, I noticed that Seti unit processing times are long. I mean really long. Does that mean that a lot of Seti users are so busy Gaming, FTP'ing and peer to peer file swapping( or viewing "Those" kind of movies )that their High Spec PC's are choked? Or are they really still using PII's, like Mat Lebowski? LOL Hi from the United Kingdom ;-) Regards Pete. |
| Fri May 16 16:02:25 PDT 2003 From: Aaron Parsons | Yes, such a confusion is hard to swallow. I am suspicious that it is a prank posting by one of the other Sarahs in my life. So that narrows it down to like 7. |
| Thu May 15 11:09:43 PDT 2003 From: Bharat Ravi Ramamurti | Who is this Sarah Graham character that thinks you and I are related Parsons? I mean, I know I am passing on my culture, but I never though I'd get confused with a Jewish kid from Rangely, Colorado. Anyway, the site is great! |
| Fri Apr 18 18:27:28 PDT 2003 From: Sarah Graham | hey, Aaron, I loved your page! what a cute baby picture. I also loved the picture of you flexing -- you looked pretty hot. (was that your brother you were with? or half-brother? you look similar, but different). I saw that your girlfriend's name is also Sarah. She's a lucky girl. Pretty lucky to get a guy like you, anyway! I've never met someone like you-- it sounds like you've done a lot of crazy things! You shouldn't worry if some people get uptight about things like that squirrel story. I think it is hilarious and you have to be yourself, no matter what. keep it up! luv, Sarah |
| Fri Mar 28 11:53:44 PST 2003 From: Basil Frankweiler | Nice site! I really appreciated your sing-a-long songs. I'm just learning guitar. |
