Bob Murray's "Song Book"

This page is intended for the author's personal use. (It gives me access to the words, keys and chords of some of my favourite songs if I am on the move and caught without my big black book.) If anybody else finds this and wants to use it -  well, fine. I will ignore requests for additions. I may however pay attention to useful comments about alternative chords or lyrics. In every case, if copyright exists, it remains with the original author. Nothing must be taken from these pages other than for personal use or study in such a way as to not breach copyright. Those marked "(RM)" are my own efforts, and permission should be sought before reproduction, etc.
All are set for my own voice. If you want another key, do it yourself !  My favoured method of indicating guitar chords is to list all the chords for a line before the start of the line; I tend to know the songs well enough to know at which point to change.
