I've recently ''dug up'' a few more websites that give free lyrics & chords.

Long gone are the days of buying expensive songbooks.

Here are links to two excellent ones, both great resources for guitar or ukulele players.

Happy strumming!

Thanks Keith, appreciate the links, here's a site I use quite a bit.

Yep, that's a good one too Santa. I've printed off every song on it that I like over the past few years! Cheers!

Back in the mid sixties when I first started to play the guitar, sheet music cost $2.95 per song!

Wish I'd started ukulele way back then, only got into it a couple of years back after a health incident, pretty slow going at my age, but I'm enjoying it.

Mike Lynch (no longer with us) has produced some good stuff as well in chord melody and tabs, a lot of it available on YouTube, your probably way past this level, however, others may be interested.

Interesting you mention the Dulcimer, my wife bought one at a Bluegrass festival in Ashville North Carolina about 18 months ago, thoroughly enjoying it, in fact bought a second on a recent visit to the US, making good progress, probably better than me.

I've got a small collection of uke's now, 5 in all, seems collecting stringed instruments can become a bit of an addiction.

 It can be for some people.

Here's another good ukulele website.

This is my most favourite site in the whole world .

 Yep, that's a great one too BM.

On all of these sites I right click & take a ''screen shot'', save it to downloads library & then print it off.

I have a folder with around 150 songs in it.

Hi, sorry if you have already mentioned this site...https://ozbcoz.com/ has uke tabs and lyrics to heaps of songs. Took a littl while for me to learn how to navigate around the site

Cheers,

Nick

 Thanks Nick, looks to be an interesting site, book marked it, haven't tried any of the TAB's yet, will certainly give them a try.

 Mine also!

I copy and paste into a word document, then I can edit the font and layout more closely to the actual performance.

This process also makes it easy to put into a power-point presentation, which is much easier to follow on a tablet than the other apps etc.

I have a couple dozen folders, with around a thousand songs (maybe more ... I ain't gunna be counting them )

cannot disagree!

I have a uke, and barely touch it ... dust it off a bit, or let the grandkids play with it a bit.

Also have a Kala U-bass which does get a lot of use!

I'd prefer to listen to a well played uke to a poorly played guitar any day of the week.
