Welcome to my collection of songs. These were gathered over a period of many years as tryouts, possibles and wannabees for our band. Some made it into the act, most didn't. As you can see there is a very varied selection - we were more of a 60s cabaret band than anything else, but latterly began to concentrate on rock.

One little oddity you will notice from the start is the layout - in these songs the chords appear below the lyrics not above them - please remember that or none of this will make any sense. Also, please don't ask me to change it - I've been using this layout for so many years it feels natural and I can't imagine doing it any other way. This layout was originally arrived at as a requirement for a key changing routine I wrote for the computer. The program needed a fixed reference to anchor the chords to and the lyric line became that. Consequently it appeared first and the amended chords followed.

So here they are - nearly 1200 of them. They are totally my own work and may be right or not. Some are spot on while others may be very wide of the mark. They were all roughed out in practice and some got further than others. Some we struggled with for weeks and got nowhere while others were so simple and obvious we didn't feel the need to print the chords at all.

Make of it what you will. I make no charge for this collection - it is presented here soley as a reference that many be of some help to budding new guitarists struggling to play a particular song. If you find an error or omission please email me and let me know. But whatever you do, enjoy it.
