Songbooks

These mostly get used at a community sing/jam-along we host once a month in Ottawa. You’re welcome to use them for whatever you wish.

Cover of Songs for Singing

Like it says on the tin: a plundering of folk, rock, and pop songs for shindigs, jamborees, hootenannies, jams, & singalongs of all kinds.

60 pages of traditional folksongs – and songs by the Beatles, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Tom Waits, etc. Includes lyrics, chords, and credits explaining where the songs came from.

There’s also a youtube playlist of these songs, in the order they appear in the book and often with several versions for each song.
