Song List
The lyrics and chords are the work of the original artists listed below. They are reprinted without permission for your information only. Some of the chords were transcribed by others, some by me, and we might have screwed up. The lyrics were reproduced as faithfully as possible, but people like The Boss aren't always easy to understand. Finally, a good resource for learning new songs on guitar is OLGA, the On Line Guitar Archive. You should also think about buying "Rise Up Singing" by Peter Blood and Annie Patterson. Please contact me with any corrections or complaints.
