Songs

Do it yourself

We like making it easy for others to play along with us and make their own versions of traditional folk songs. (We’re keen to support and foster a communal folk culture and musical creative commons!) So here’s the words and chords to various songs we’ve put out publicly.

    “Wayfaring Stranger” is a traditional gospel song first recorded in the 1800s, with roots that likely stretch back to an old German hymn from 1666 (“Ich bin ein Gast auf Erden” by Johann Georg Ebeling and Paul Gerhardt).

  • St James Infirmary Blues
