These scores/tabs are intended for PRINT OUT on a4 or letter size, so screen viewing is not that great. (see end note)
This collection includes nearly 4000 scores with sheet music and mandolin tablatures for traditional and folk songs. No lyrics are included but most of the lyrics with be found on our songs-midis pages. Songs from many genres will be found, including: bluegrass, old-time, Christian, Celtic (Irish, & Scottish), English, Welsh, Canadian, Australian, & American. Nearly all are from English speaking parts of the world, although there are a few foreign language items. The range of song subjects is huge, including: loves lost and found, bad men, good men, adventures, great events, protest & political, comedy, outlaws, in-laws, religious, inspirational, carols & hymns, etc, you name it, you will find it here.
The songs are accessed by clicking on a letter on the nav-bar, A for songs beginning A etc. Where song titles began with "A" or "The" these have mostly been omitted for indexing purposes, likewise punctuation in song titles has been omitted in link names to avoid server problems.
The versions here are not intended to represent any particular version or performance and are provided for educational purposes only. As with most traditional music, a process know as "folk processing" occurs, which can result in many different versions of songs and tunes, so you may find more than one version of a song. This collection was derived from the Digital Tradition database at Mudcat Cafe and my thanks goes to them, and all those whose work contributed to making this collection possible.
1) The graphics used for these scores & tabs are black and white 200dpi which gives a reasonable print quality while being fairly small in size. The decision was taken to use these, rather than the more normal 72dpi dithered graphics found on web sites, because it was considered that for most musicians, better quality print-out, rather than a pretty screen displays, would be more important.
