Songs with Lyrics
and Guitar Chords
- There are very few sites with Guitar Chords
for Period Music, so I have included a few old
favorites with "easy" Chords for
all of the Songs. -
Note to beginners:
Chords is chords!
Though the page says, Guitar chords, Banjo and Mandolin, use the
same chords to play the songs.
Here are a couple of sites to help you find
"fingering" for chords on your particular instrument.
- Guitar Chord Finder -
- 4 String Instruments Chord Finder -
Note - Several Instruments here,
Click on your instrument to see correct chart.

so you can hear the song before you play, just click
on the
