For those doubting the versatility of ABC, here's one I prepared earlier (Christmas before last)
At "Mandolintab" it gives some weird notes in the lower staves, but at Concertina.net it gives a lovely print out in PDF, ready to sing.(complete with 4 part harmonies, an words linked to each part separately)
