CathysChords hasn't retired yet :)

April 2020 update-

A huge Thank You to those who have been supporting the site with donations!

In these troubled times, sharing and making music is more important than ever, and I hope this site is helping in some small way.

I have now revised this list to fix some broken links and to include the 'new' songs I had posted in the blog but not yet formatted into the lists of songs.

Please keep letting me know (via Send Message -below- or Facebook) if you find any broken links that I've missed.

Enjoy,

Cathy :)

Alphabetical List of Songs for Guitar on this Site​

Here's the full list of songs on this site so far. I have had to revise all the links this year (2017), but I hope they will continue to work. Please let me know if you find any dud links!

Note that titles beginning with "The" are listed with the next word (e.g. 'The Unicorn' is listed as 'Unicorn', and so on)


The levels refer to the sequence I have worked out for step-by-step learning to play (see How to make Chords for the chords and sequence). They don't necessarily mean that the levels get harder, though the early levels are very easy.

Click on the song title to open/download the PDF file.


Each PDF file has the words to the songs with chords on all verses, and most have chord diagrams. I'm re-doing them to add the levels and the starting note to help you sing. You'll have to know the tune and the timing, though.

I've made the words on the songs sheets as large as feasible, so they're easy to read when you're playing them (or when you're sharing with someone else for a sing-along). I've put them on PDF documents as it's too hard to format them on the web pages- and PDF is stable and easy to download.

NOTE - If you get a "Sign up" message from Dropbox, just ignore it - the file should open regardless. When the file opens in your browser, if you want to download it to your computer, select "..." (next to Open at top right) > More > download.


Please leave me a message in my Guestbook or post a comment on my Facebook page (Cathy's Chords) if you like the songs or find an error in my transcriptions or a broken link, or if you have any queries.


Have fun!

Cathy :) 

P.S. This site is funded purely by users' donations and my own resources. Opening and/or downloading these song sheets uses bandwidth, which I have to pay for, so if you are using more than half a dozen or so of the sheets, and if you have a few dollars to spare, you may like to donate a little bit to help with the site costs (there is a DONATE button at the bottom of the page - but please don't feel obligated in any way, the songs are here for you to enjoy).

I'm a paragraph. Click once to begin entering your own content. You can change my font, size, line height, color and more by highlighting part of me and selecting the options from the toolbar.
