Irish Songs
Traditional and collected songs from Ireland
Several of these I have not chorded yet - I am still learning them. If you have the chords, send them to me and I will add them.You very well may know several of these songs, but the words you remember may differ a bit here and there. That is perfectly normal with folk songs, especially those of the Irish and Scottish sources. Most of them were transmitted orally for years, and changed a bit as they travelled.
Suggestion: If your way is different, be sure to get together with the other bards before a bardic so no one is confused...
