I'm looking for a chord sheet repertoire

[mtsusean]

I played with a couple friends of mine for the first time on Sunday. Everything they played was pretty much country standards from the 50's, 60's and 70's. They cover all the lyrics so I am not necessarily interested in them, but does anyone know where I could easily and quickly download chord sheets instead of the places like cowboylyric, etc that have the chords over or embedded in the lyrics?

I have a huge .pdf file of fiddle tunes like this, just open that one document and instantly I have all of the fiddle tunes in the universe

Would your friends not have the chord sheets for their repertoire?

Here is a PDF from Meetup.com that might be helpful: http://files.meetup.com/812439/Knuckledown.pdf

There is a lot here. http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/

Maybe one of the subcategories is what you're looking for.

those are some good links


I guess I should rephrase, that I'm only looking for charts sans lyrics, i.e., such as Nashville charts as so

C / C / C F / C /
F / C / Dm / G /

I can make them up off other sources, I was kind of hoping someone already had a big stash already or know of a source

You might check out Songsterr. I have the iPad app, I think it was 10 bucks, and it has something like 500,000 tabs in it. Don't know how much is country.

Am I the only one in the world who thinks that this is the ideal repertoire for developing your ears? Forget about paperwork. In a three chord trick the first chord change is a fifty fifty bet. After that it has to get easier.
