Mel Bay’s A Treasury of Songs for Young People: For Autoharp, Guitar, Ukulele, Mandolin, Banjo, and Keyboard

The songs in this book are familiar to children of all ages. They include not only traditional children’s songs, but also rounds, cowboy tunes, and popular Christmas songs. They have been arranged in the keys that are most suitable for singing, and can be played in a variety of styles using only the words and the accompanying chords. In cases where there are two versions of a particular tune, both have been included. If one version is not well known, however, the most widely used melody is selected. The songs are written as lyrics with chord symbols only; no music notation is provided.
