More Songs

Yes, the previous page was getting a bit full ... Here are some more Traditional Songs, with instructions for using guitar.

Are you sleeping?

This is a very old tune, originally sung in French (for school children learning French). It has been translated into English, and there have been many other versions made up. It is a simple tune, and can be sung as a round (and therefore can be played all on one chord, or just by repeating the same simple sequence over and over).
