Fun Folk Songs

Another good place for music is the Digital Tradition Folksong Database at the Mudcat Cafe.

The chords to most of these songs are given in numerical style chord charts.
There is some info on elsewhere on this site about reading chord charts and transposing numbers into lettered chords.

I've also linked to sheet music and tablature and other chord charts I've put in in the sections on Reading Music and Learning to Play Music.
