Guitar song books without music notes

[LeDave]

Are there acoustic guitar song books that have only chords and lyrics? Without musical notes.

Something like this,

I haven't seen a book, but you can find that kind of stuff all over the internet and print it out. So why a book?

I prefer to buy books than to print sheets for free. Call me weirdo.

"Rise Up Singing" has lots of songs with just the chords.

If you're into the Beatles, this was the first songbook I bought and one of the main reasons was the lack of sheet music as I know how the songs go, just needed chords in format you describe.

One more idea - Justinguitar.com produced several printed songbooks that had chords, words, and rhythm (very useful!). These seem to be getting scarce but they’re still around on Amazon and other online sellers. There were a couple of beginner books, and acoustic, rock, etc.

We have "Das Ding" ("The Thing") in Germany, volume 1-4.
About 400 songs each; total >1600.
There are some german songs, but about 75% are english, more campfire songs than you'd ever need.
There are two versions - lyrics and chords (A5 format), or lyrics and chords/melody (A4 format).
No german needed - chords have no language

This is a GOLD MINE. They've got lyrics you can get for free from their YouTube clips. But for $24.98 ($28.98 for large print) that book is a bargain.

SWEEEEEET

For less than $70 (volume I and II) you get literally thousands of traditional song arrangements.

I'm on a pretty restricted budget right now, but I am seriously looking at this. These guys are a nice small 2 man (woman) shop out of Amherst, Massachussetts.
